       Body:
If I manage to get a hold on a Win XP install I can give a go at this one.
If I understood correctly the problem, this means that a solution would be to replace the '/' by the file.separator value in path taken from the POM or the properties. This should potentialy be applied to several values, including the maven.repo.local one. 

Correct?

---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Key: MAVEN-1290
    Summary: UNIX style absolute path resolves relatively on Windows (XP)
       Type: Bug

     Status: Unassigned
   Priority: Major

 Original Estimate: Unknown
 Time Spent: Unknown
  Remaining: Unknown

    Project: maven
 Components: 
             core
   Fix Fors:
             1.0
   Versions:
             1.0-rc3

   Assignee:

Environment: Windows XP, Sun JDK 1.4.2_04

Description:
We use absolute file paths in our project.xml / project.properties files, and use the UNIX style as we need our environment to be portable across platforms.

Using Maven 1.0-rc3 on Windows, it is resolving these references relatively - for example:

maven.repo.local=/StdEnv/MLIBS

will result in Maven trying to locate the repository in a StdEnv/MLIBS subdirectory of the current project, not from the root of the drive, as it did previously.
