You should always use the slash '/' and Ant will convert it on Windows.
There is only one cases (I am aware of) where you will need the 'correct' one:
if you create files for native access:
<echo file="${build.dir}/my.bat">
cd c:\apache-ant\1.7.1\bin
call ant.bat
</echo>
<exec executable="cmd.exe"><arg value="${build.dir}/my.bat"/></exec>
You could use ${file.separator} but i think if you create batch/shell scripts
that way you are platform dependent anyway ...
