Dumb Windows path parsing

[Fairlight]

With neither thought nor caution, GCC blurted:
> Tried this:
>   
> W:\>cd w:\no\such\.\path\.\..\foo\..\..\ccp\filepro
> The system cannot find the path specified.

Original:
W:\no\such\.\path\.\..\foo\..\..\ccp\filepro

Strip no-op '.' elements:
W:\no\such\path\..\foo\..\..\ccp\filepro

Strip one path element per '..' element:
W:\foo\ccp\filepro

You are apparently missing a needed '..' to negate the extra 'foo'.
