Well, you enter a slash too many, you get a slash too many.  But I am
pretty sure that the scripts by now are rather robust regarding double
slashes (in C they are never really a difference), and I don't think
that any double slash makes it into a Lisp startup file: they get all
cleaned up with expand-file-name if I am not mistaken.

I am more worried about backslashes and spaces in file names.  They
stuff should work even in their presence, but if you want to give it a
run for its money, create a directory "C:\My Stupid Idea" and create
things in there.

Yes.  But it may take a few days until I commit again.
