system-independent path for source()

I would like to use the same source files with UNIX and MacOS Carbon versions of R. Some of these source files access other source files through the source function, but UNIX separates directories with "/" and MacOS separates them with ":" and the beginning of the path is also different on each system. Is there a way to write the source files so that they can use source() with system-independent paths?
file.path.
Or would it be easier for me to convert the source files to packages and use library()? http://www.mcg.edu/research/biostat/bickel.html David R.
