MSP430Ware examples broken under linux, DOS path separator strikes again. '\'

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430WARE

I tried to import different MSP430Ware examples with mixed success. Some of them work and some of them don't.

When I poked around I found that it looks like another problem of using the DOS path seperator '\' where '/' should be used:

<projectSpec>
    <project compilerBuildOptions="-Ooff -I${PROJECT_ROOT}\driverlib\MSP430F5xx_6xx -I${PROJECT_ROOT}\ -I${PROJECT_ROOT}\USB_config" 
             device="MSP430F5529"
             name="SimpleUsbBackchannel"
             postBuildStep="&quot;${CG_TOOL_HEX}&quot; --ti_txt &quot;${BuildArtifactFileName}&quot; -o &quot;${BuildArtifactFileBaseName}.txt&quot; -order MS -romwidth 16" >
        <file action="copy" path="..\driverlib\" />
        <file action="copy" path="..\USB_API\" />
        <file action="copy" path="..\USB_app\" />
        <file action="copy" path="..\USB_config\" />
        <file action="copy" path="..\BCUart.c" />
        <file action="copy" path="..\BCUart.h" />
        <file action="copy" path="..\hal.c" />
        <file action="copy" path="..\hal.h" />
        <file action="copy" path="..\main.c" />
        <file action="copy" path="..\system_pre_init.c" />
        <buildVariable name="ORIGINAL_PROJECT_ROOT" scope="project" type="dir" value="." />
    </project>
</projectSpec>
./MSP-EXP430F5529LP/MSP-EXP430F5529LP\ Software\ Examples/Source/SimpleUsbBackchannel/CCS/SimpleUsbBackchannel.projectspec



If I edit that file and change all the '\' characters to '/' it works properly. However, there are many *.projectspec files that are broken. I just used that as an example.
