Description

A root path on Unix is simply "/", but on Windows it's not so easy. There are
for example "C:/" and "//host/dir".  I'm sure that there are more cases, but
here are a few that I found after a very quick look:

1. svn_path_canonicalize transforms "C:/" to "C:" which is not the same
   thing.

2. is_canonical does not understand that "C:/" is canonical.

3. svn_path_join does not get that if component is "C:/whatever", it is
   absolute.

4. svn_path_join_many does not get that if base is "C:/whatever", it is
   absolute.
