Description

On Windows the new `mvn.cmd` script does not work if the current working directory is the root dir of a drive. In that case it will initialize `%MAVEN_PROJECTBASEDIR%` with a trailing `\` and that will break the java command line as it escapes the following quote of `"-Dmaven.multiModuleProjectDirectory=%MAVEN_PROJECTBASEDIR%"`.

It works on 3.2.1 and fails with 3.3.1:

c:\> cd /d C:\
c:\>c:\devenv\apache-maven-3.2.1\bin\mvn --version
Apache Maven 3.2.1 (ea8b2b07643dbb1b84b6d16e1f08391b666bc1e9; 2014-02-14T18:37:52+01:00)
