[Patch]: c:.

["Pierre A. Humblet" <pierre at phumblet dot no-ip dot org>]

I have run more tests and noticed that c:. and c:..
are now interpreted as c:/
That's because of the new code that strips trailing dots
and spaces. 

A patch is attached. It works fine on WinME (ls, cd, etc...)
but I am wondering how NtCreateFile reacts to that syntax
as well as to c:xxxx 
Depending on the answer we may have to treat these forms in
a new way (perhaps just forbid them).

If we do not use the patch, then chdir must be tuned to
handle these paths appropriately (they are not recognized by
isabspath, although they are absolute).

Paths such as c:../.. are not handled properly, but that's
not a regression.

Windows never stops amazing me!
