A trailing forward slash in "pathname" is stripped in path_conv::check,

(look for: *--tail = '\0' )

after "pathname" has been normalized in

normalized_posix_path or normalized_win32_path (or both),

before it is fed into conv_to_win32_path.

Tests have shown that Eric's code snippet can be deleted w/o harm.

Counter arguments?
