Apologies for the breakage. I will queue this as a fix.

Any objections if I change this to


---%<---
efi_char16_t c = cmdline[i++];

if (c == L'\0' || c == L'\n' || c == L' ')
  break;
else if (c == L'/')
  /* Replace UNIX dir separators with EFI standard ones */
  *result++ = L'\\';
else
  *result++ = c;
---%<---


(no need to resend)
