Bug description

Hi,

I was reading

http://caml.inria.fr/ocaml/htmlman/libref/Filename.html

and basename claims:

Split a file name into directory name / base file name. concat (dirname
name) (basename name) returns a file name which is equivalent to name.

Sys.executable_name;;

• : string = "/usr/bin/ocaml"

let n = Sys.executable_name in (Filename.dirname n)^(Filename.basename

n);;

• : string = "/usr/binocaml"

Plus, it doesn't seem to be possible to ask the ocaml library for the
path separator; it doesn't seem like it would be correct on Windows to
use '/'.

Thanks!
