Details:

geometry-2.0.0 fails to install on windows because the package path is first
canonicalized, then the PKG_ADD and PGK_DEL scripts try to split the dirname
with windows file separator which fails and returns the full path.

lines causing the error:

dirname = fileparts (canonicalize_file_name (mfilename ("fullpath")));
pp = strsplit (dirname,filesep (), true);

pp then holds an invalid path consisting of a concatenation of the filepath
with itself.

Circumvention: change filesep () in both files to '/'.
