>Environment:
Apache 1.3b6 precompiled apache.org, Win95OSR2, 64Megs RAM
>Description:
For some reason, when using <directory> directive
(<directory c:/apache/htdocs/s10-4x4/public/messages>)
a trailing "/" is sometimes needed, and other times
is needed, depending on wether the desired outcome is
meet.  Cannot identify a pattern.  

When compared to: Alias /systemimages/ c:/apache/systemimages/,
a trailing "/" is always reqired in both arguments.

Would like to see the trailing "/" required for all directives
when pointing to any directory or URL path.  This would
"standardize" the config throughout.  

Also, it seams that it was required with 1.3b3 in the
<Directory> directive, but with 1.3b6 I had to remove it.
