Here it is. There's one problem though: for POSIX-like systems,
multiple subsequent slashes don't change the meaning of a pathname.
This is not the case for CL pathnames. Should we care about it?

BTW there are some aspects of the tests system I fail to understand.
For example, elephant-tests fails to compile
(tests/testconcurrency.lisp wants to use package BT, which cannot be
found).
