I just bumped into a minor bug in fnsplit().  The current fnsplit does take
into account '/' as a possible directory division.  Example:
        In              Out
        Path            Drive   Dir       Filename   Extention
        a:\dir\fn.ext   a:      \dir\     fn         .ext
        a:/dir/fn.ext   a:      <empty>   /dir/fn    .ext

The patch to fix this wasn't too bad, almost the expected one-liner.  Diff
report to follow.
