While still not providing an entirely clean way to deal with /dev paths, the
small patch below at least treats '/dev/env' as a valid path, instead of
turning it into 'env', which ends up as './env'.
This may not fix mkinstalldirs, but at least it provides a sane result (i.e.
it creates c:/dev and c:/dev/env, instead of c:/dev and c:/curdir/env).
