I'm not sure since I don't have/use Windows systems. My understanding
is that in some, but not all, places Windows makes a distinction between
pathnames that contain trailing slashes and those which don't.
There is a patch applied to the CVS version of GNU make, for example,
that strips trailing slashes off of -C arguments because things don't
work properly on Windows if this is not done.
If you want more details you might have more luck asking on the
make-w32@gnu.org mailing list; folks who use GNU make on Windows tend to
hang out there.
