I have some functions for the path module that I'd like to submit to the general public.  I haven't worked on them for about half a year and I had submitted them to Walter for inclusion into Phobos a while back, but he's got far more pressing issues (like bug fixes and spec. stability) to concern himself with.

The list of included functions:
getRoots
isRoot
containsRoot
normPath // normalize a path; similar to the Python version
         // http://docs.python.org/lib/module-os.path.html
isNormPath
normCase // normalize the case
normSep // normalize the separators for the given os
join // variadic join
absPath // includes a private isAbs because the one in std.path doesn't seem to be working
expandPath // similar to the Ruby version
           // http://www.rubycentral.com/ref/ref_c_file.html#expand_path

I offer the code free to anyone; use it as you may, it's public domain.  I hope it works, but offer no assurances on it's quality and am not responsible for it's use in other code.

It compiles clean under DMD 0.163 on Windows, but I haven't tested it on Linux since I wrote it -- I no longer have access to a Linux box.  The functions use an internal isAbs function because when I was writing the code I found the one in Phobos to not be accurate.  I'm probably wrong on that front, so to get the Phobos isAbs functionality, remove the internal one (the internal one returns a bool instead of an int, so any compares will need to be modified).

Hopefully someone will find it useful, but in the end, I just wanted to do my small share to contribute to this fantastic language.

Walter, keep up the good work on this language.  But I have to say, honestly, to the community, keep up the good work and motivation.  I've never come across a more intelligent and dedicated langauge community. And friendly by the way.  It's always a pleasure reading the newsgroups.

Onward, upward and D-ward!

P.S. - I'm having some trouble attaching the code so I'm just pasting it in this message.  Formatting will be screwy I'm sure, but I'm not sure how else to post.  I think my file is too large to send, so I'm leaving out the unittests in this message and will past them in another.
