The documentation for path.make says that it "Converts the native path 
into normalized form." But it is getting called in a variety of ways 
with normalized paths. It wasn't a problem before because the path.join, 
though the NORMALIZE_PATH and J="/" interaction, was swallowing this and 
spitting out semi-reasonable paths out anyway. But now path.join is 
somewhat less flexible. Volodya, or anybody who knows, is path.make 
supposed to be used this way? Or, do I have to kludge 
path.join/NORMALIZE_PATH to behave exactly as before?
