I think replacing hard-coded separators by os.sep is a good thing to
do. However, if you find that you cannot achieve re-use of ntpath for
OS/2 by existing customization alone, please do not add conditional
code into ntpath. It would be very confusing if, in ntpath.py, there
is a test whether the system is OS/2.
