I don't see how it is going to help us.

I've a final offer before I declare the bug as SEP (someone else's problem):

pseudo code

#ifdef MS_WINDOWS
    rv = stat(...)
    if (rv == error)
        check for *one* trailign / or \ and remove it
        rv = stat(...)
        if (rv == error)
            give up
#endif

It should fix the case when somebody adds a directory with a trailing /
or \ on Windows. More complex cases are still broken but that's really
not my concern. ;)
