Bumping them for every release just adds too much git
noise and history blowup.

Mode dependencies are now loaded in a saner way.

Node provides some cross-platform utility methods to enable safe
path traversal.

This change merely swaps out a hardcoded '/' (unix path separator)
to use one of these methods.

An alternative strategy would be to use the constant 'path.sep' but
this felt 'cleaner'.
