What's the proper procedure for dealing with a MacOS filename that has a
slash character in it and fopen?  I've read QA1392 but that doesn't really
tell me what I need to do.

If I have a file named Foobar/JoeMama.txt in Macintosh HD/Some Folder/,
Feeding the string /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Some Folder/Foobar/JoeMama.txt to
fopen returns an error because it thinks Foobar is another directory but as
far as MacOSX is concerned it's part of the file name.

Should there be quotes around some or all of this or some other funkiness?
Should I turn the slash into a colon?
