Hehe.

AFAICT this would be better written as $(PROGRAMFILES) (but you have to 
add proper quoting, I guess).

Or, alternatively, you can get it with a simple Tcl script

	package require registry 1.0
	puts [regsub "\\" [registry get \
		"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Extensions" \
		 "doc"] "/"]

Or something like that.

Ciao,
