Re: [Libreoffice-commits] core.git: desktop/source

I would just not go down the troubled road of attempting to support 
whatever platform-specific file pathname notation in an interface 
supposedly designed to take URLs (i.e., stop calling 
osl::FileBase::getFileURLFromSystemPath on aURL), and then---if there is 
indeed demand to support relative URLs in your interface---use 
rtl::Uri::convertRelToAbs for reliable conversion, instead of resorting 
to guesswork like indexOf("://").
