//! concatenate two paths
/**
* \param base The base path.
* \param p The path to concatenate onto base.
*
* If p is an absolute path, return p. Otherwise return the
* string-concatenation of base and path, possibly with a '/' inbetween, if
* necessary.
*
* Some examples:
* <table>
* <tr><th> base </th><th> p </th><th> result </th></tr>
* <tr><td> anything </td><td> "/abs/path" </td><td> "/abs/path" </td></tr>
* <tr><td> "a" </td><td> "b" </td><td> "a/b" </td></tr>
* <tr><td> "/a" </td><td> "b" </td><td> "/a/b" </td></tr>
* <tr><td> "a/" </td><td> "b" </td><td> "a/b" </td></tr>
* <tr><td> "a" </td><td> "b/" </td><td> "a/b/" </td></tr>
* <tr><td> ".." </td><td> "b" </td><td> "../b" </td></tr>
* <tr><td> "a" </td><td> ".." </td><td> "a/.." </td></tr>
* <tr><td> "." </td><td> "b" </td><td> "./b" </td></tr>

* <tr><td> "a" </td><td> "" </td><td> "a" </td></tr>
* <tr><td> "" </td><td> "" </td><td> "" </td></tr>

* If both base and p are sanitized as per processPath(), and if p does not
* contain any leading "../", then the result will also be sanitized.

//! sanitize a path for further processing
/**
* Sanitize the path as far as possible to make further processing easier.
* The resulting path has the following properties:
* <ul>
* <li> The path is a series of components, each followed by a single '/'.
* <li> An absolute path starts with an empty component followed by a '/',
* so its first charachter will be '/'. This is the only case where an
* empty component can occur.
* <li> The path does not contain any component ".". Any such component in
* the input is removed.
* <li> A ".." component may only occur in the following case: A relative
* path may contain a series of ".." in the beginning. Any other
* occurances of ".." int eh input is collapsed with a preceding
* component or simply removed if it is at the beginning of an absolute
* path.
* </ul>
*
* \note The result is really meant for processing only since it has two * unusual properties: First, any path denoting the current directory
* in the input, such as "." will result in an empty path "". Second,
* any non-empty result path will have a trailing '/'. For other
* uses, prettyPath() may be more appropriate.
*
* Some examples:
* <table>
* <tr><th> p </th><th> result </th></tr>
* <tr><td> "" </td><td> "" </td></tr>
* <tr><td> "." </td><td> "" </td></tr>
* <tr><td> "./" </td><td> "" </td></tr>
* <tr><td> "a/.." </td><td> "" </td></tr>

* <tr><td> "a" </td><td> "a/" </td></tr>
* <tr><td> "a//" </td><td> "a/" </td></tr>
* <tr><td> "a///b" </td><td> "a/b/" </td></tr>
* <tr><td> "/" </td><td> "/" </td></tr>
