In HTML.pm, File::Copy is used to copy the files.  It's possible
that forward slashes would work on all relevant OS's, in which case
we can hard-code a forward slash in ext/epub3.pm.  I believe that
forward slashes work in most places on MS-Windows as a directory
separator, except on the command line.

Does it even make sense to use INFO_JS_DIR for EPUB output?  Do EPUB
readers do anything with the JavaScript files?
