Details:

If the path string contains extra slashes at the start (e.g. ///path/to/file)
then [NSString stringByStandardizingPath] returns one extra slash in the
result.

The attached test case makes following output:

2011-01-11 10:18:27.004 nsstring[25192] /path//to/file/ -> /path/to/file
2011-01-11 10:18:27.005 nsstring[25192] //path//to/file/ -> //path/to/file
2011-01-11 10:18:27.005 nsstring[25192] ///path//to/file/ -> //path/to/file
2011-01-11 10:18:27.005 nsstring[25192] ////path//to/file/ -> //path/to/file
2011-01-11 10:18:27.005 nsstring[25192] /path//to/file -> /path/to/file
2011-01-11 10:18:27.005 nsstring[25192] //path//to/file -> //path/to/file
2011-01-11 10:18:27.005 nsstring[25192] ///path//to/file -> //path/to/file
2011-01-11 10:18:27.005 nsstring[25192] ////path//to/file -> //path/to/file

, which is wrong.

The attached patch fixes the problem for me. The function rootOf() is changed
because it executes the windows specific code even on my Ubuntu which leads to
the wrong results for the pathes like an UNC resource (but not supposed to be
the resource path), e.g. "//path/to/file/".
