Demonstration program below. Basically if you compile this and run

	winfiletest d c:\
	winfiletest d c:\temp
	winfiletest d c:\temp\      <-- this one fails
	winfiletest d c:\temp\.

This is specifically a problem with lablgtk2 which returns directory
names with a trailing slash from the file selection dialog. Works OK
on the Unix port, but fails under Windows.
