Conformance tests fail to run on Windows (but okay on OS X + Linux)

Affects: RDiscount 2.1.6
Environment: Ruby 1.9.3p392
cd test/MarkdownTest_1.0.3

It appears that the Rakefile assumes that / is the path separator character, which is incorrect on Windows.
The standard Ruby tests are unaffected.
There are a few problems:
(1) The rake test:conformance runs a shell command that Windows doesn't understand.
- Linux:
RUBYLIB=C:/Users/davidf/dev/rdiscount/lib ./MarkdownTest.pl --script='C:/Users/davidf/dev/rdiscount/bin/rdiscount' --tidy - Windows:
set RUBYLIB=C:/Users/davidf/dev/rdiscount/lib && .\MarkdownTest.pl --script='C:/Users/davidf/dev/rdiscount/bin/rdiscount' --tidy
(2) The MarkdownTest.pl script itself makes reference to ./Markdown.pl instead of .\Markdown.pl.
The former I can fix myself. The latter should be fixed upstream.
@rtomayko: I'm having some trouble locating the original upstream source of the MarkdownTest.pl script.
- The 1.0 version seems to have come from this mailing list post.
- But I'm not sure about the 1.0.3 version or any later version since then. There appears to be a non-authoritative 1.0.3 version on CPAN.
Do you know where MarkdownTest's authoritative upstream repository is?
I think it's sufficient that the conformance tests run on OS X and Linux. I don't anticipate any Windows-specific issues that would be revealed by running them on Windows.
Fixing this issue requires a Windows-compatible version of Markdown.pl, but no authoritative source for this file could be identified. Therefore it is frozen and this issue cannot be resolved.
As mentioned before, I find it sufficient that the conformance tests (and Markdown.pl) run successfully on OS X and Linux. I just hope that Markdown.pl doesn't break later, as there is no way to fix it.
Closing.
