On Unix, if you put a trailing / in the config file then there will be one. If you don't, you don't. If you are referring to the root of a filesystem, there will always be a trailing '/' since there will be at least one '/'. On Windows, the same thing holds; the only difference is that in the special case of "x:" a trailing '/' is added. You can not rely on the presence or absense of one, since it can vary depending on how it is configured.
