Sure, it could be done. But the reason why I didn't do that myself was that I got a bit worried about this being a slippery slope towards full path-normalization. FindFirstFileA() does handle non-normalized paths, as long as they are below MAX_PATH in length.

I just didn't want to add a slash if there was already one there, which is something different than trying to fix the input-path.

In other words, I'm not entirely sure if fixing up such a case is a task that belongs to opendir.
