   * FIX #2521: trailing colon in GHC_PACKAGE_PATH
   This was broken in the System.FilePath switchover, since filepath's
   splitSearchPath doesn't do what we want (it ignores empty
   components on Windows, and treats them as "." on Unix).  So we use our
   own hand-rolled version, just like GHC.
