POSIX says that you are supposed to treat consecutive forward-slashes as one.
So I think we should support it.

NB: \\dev\env\DJDIR is a UNC and should be treated differently than
//dev/env/DJDIR. You can't collapse the first two backward-slashes in a UNC.
But c:\\dev\env\DJDIR is not a UNC and you can collapse the first two-backward
slashes.

Bye, Rich =]
