-# SYNOPSIS
-#
-# AX_NORMALIZE_PATH(VARNAME, [REFERENCE_STRING])
-#
-# DESCRIPTION
-#
-# Perform some cleanups on the value of $VARNAME (interpreted as a path):
-#
-# - empty paths are changed to '.'
-# - trailing slashes are removed
-# - repeated slashes are squeezed except a leading doubled slash '//'
-# (which might indicate a networked disk on some OS).
-#
-# REFERENCE_STRING is used to turn '/' into '\' and vice-versa: if
-# REFERENCE_STRING contains some backslashes, all slashes and backslashes
-# are turned into backslashes, otherwise they are all turned into slashes.
-#
-# This makes processing of DOS filenames quite easier, because you can
-# turn a filename to the Unix notation, make your processing, and turn it
-# back to original notation.
-#
-# filename='A:\FOO\\BAR\'
-# old_filename="$filename"
-# # Switch to the unix notation
-# AX_NORMALIZE_PATH([filename], ["/"])
-# # now we have $filename = 'A:/FOO/BAR' and we can process it as if
-# # it was a Unix path. For instance let's say that you want
-# # to append '/subpath':
-# filename="$filename/subpath"
-# # finally switch back to the original notation
-# AX_NORMALIZE_PATH([filename], ["$old_filename"])
-# # now $filename equals to 'A:\FOO\BAR\subpath'
-#
-# One good reason to make all path processing with the unix convention is
-# that backslashes have a special meaning in many cases. For instance
-#
-# expr 'A:\FOO' : 'A:\Foo'
-#
-# will return 0 because the second argument is a regex in which
-# backslashes have to be backslashed. In other words, to have the two
-# strings to match you should write this instead:
-#
-# expr 'A:\Foo' : 'A:\\Foo'
-#
-# Such behavior makes DOS filenames extremely unpleasant to work with. So
-# temporary turn your paths to the Unix notation, and revert them to the
-# original notation after the processing. See the macro
-# AX_COMPUTE_RELATIVE_PATHS for a concrete example of this.
-#
-# REFERENCE_STRING defaults to $VARIABLE, this means that slashes will be
-# converted to backslashes if $VARIABLE already contains some backslashes
-# (see $thirddir below).
-#
-# firstdir='/usr/local//share'
-# seconddir='C:\Program Files\\'
-# thirddir='C:\home/usr/'
-# AX_NORMALIZE_PATH([firstdir])
-# AX_NORMALIZE_PATH([seconddir])
-# AX_NORMALIZE_PATH([thirddir])
-# # $firstdir = '/usr/local/share'
-# # $seconddir = 'C:\Program Files'
-# # $thirddir = 'C:\home\usr'
