[JENKINS-6393] WORKSPACE environment variable set incorrectly on a matrix job running on a Windows node

Description

Original: I've been asked to re-implement a big test process as a matrix job on our Hudson ( 1.327 ), which I know is not the latest version. I've noticed that when a matrix job is started on a Windows node some of the environment variables are set incorrectly, for example: WORKSPACE=d:\hudson\workspace\tmp_matrix\label/spare0/test_group/g/test_number/1/test_sample_size/10 I made a matrix job which does nothing more than run the Windows "set" command - as you can see from the partial output above the environment variable contains both Windows and UNIX style path-separator slashes. Any process (such as mine ) which rely on the WORKSPACE environment variable being an existing path on the system will fail. I suggest that this environment variable needs to use an OS-spesific method to form the paths.
