How to convert Dos paths to Unix paths in Powershell
What is the best way to convert Dos paths to Unix paths in Powershell?
eg given:

`C:\Program Files\PowerShell\Modules\`

I want something like:

`/Program\ Files/PowerShell/Modules/`

Is the only solution to escape spaces and convert backslashes?

I've searched the web but couldn't find any existing Powershell function, and the solutions I found didn't mention escaping spaces, so I don't hold much hope that they're complete.
