glob() problem with double '//' in path

[Kris Warkentin]

I notice that when you build make with msdev studio, any paths that come 
into glob() looking like, for example ../../rom//*.c, do not get 
expanded properly.

This doesn't seem to be a problem with a cygwin or other unix built 
make.  I hacked a really stupid and ugly fix (we were supposed to go 
beta today...) but I'm sure that there is probably a better way to do 
it.  Ideally, our makefile structure wouldn't be passing // in but it's 
not a perfect world and this hack was easier to do in the short term.

Any ideas of a better way?

cheers,

Kris
