testnames failures on Windows
I finally figured out why testnames is failing on Windows. Essentially,
the tests are using paths like "/foo/bar" for absolute paths. But,
Windows looks at this and says this isn't absolute, it is relative. IMHO,
that means that these functions are less useful than I originally thought.
I had hoped that we could pass a common string into these functions, and
the functions would handle the OS-level information.
I realize that is hard to do with drive letters, but my question remains,
is the test wrong, or is the code wrong?????
