[PATCH 14/13] test-wildmatch: avoid Windows path mangling

On Windows, arguments starting with a forward slash is mangled as if it were full pathname. This causes the patterns beginning with a slash not to be passed to test-wildmatch correctly. Avoid mangling by never accepting patterns starting with a slash. Those arguments must be rewritten with a leading "XXX" (e.g. "/abc" becomes "XXX/abc"), which will be removed by test-wildmatch itself before feeding the patterns to wildmatch() or fnmatch().

 OK how about this?
