The normalise function doesn't affect whether or not there is a trailing
separator:

Prelude System.FilePath.Windows> normalise "c:"
"C:"
Prelude System.FilePath.Windows> normalise "c:\\"
"C:\\"
Prelude System.FilePath.Windows> normalise "c:\\foo"
"C:\\foo"
Prelude System.FilePath.Windows> normalise "c:\\foo\\"
"C:\\foo\\"


Thanks
