///
/// Only relevant to Windows, this replaces all "\" in a string with "/" and

/// if not the command line).

/// \brief Split String into Tokens
///
/// Splits a string into tokens (the tokens being delimited by one or more of
/// the delimiter characters) and returns the tokens in a vector array. Note
/// that adjacent delimiters are considered to be a single delimiter.
///
/// Special cases are:
/// -# The empty string is considered to be zero tokens.
/// -# A string comprising nothing but delimiters is considered to be zero
///    tokens.
///
/// The reasoning behind this is that the string can be thought of as having
/// invisible leading and trailing delimiter characters.  Therefore both cases
/// reduce to a set of contiguous delimiters, which are considered a single
/// delimiter (so getting rid of the string).
///
/// We could use Boost for this, but this (simple) function eliminates one
/// dependency in the code.
///
/// \param text String to be split.  Passed by value as the internal copy is
/// altered during the processing.
/// \param delim Delimiter characters

/// doesn't correctly reject negative numbers when compiled with SunStudio.

///            could not be converted
