std.path.isabs(char[]) falsely reports paths as relative when they are, indeed,
absolute. For example:

isabs("/test") => 0 (should be 1)
isabs("\test") => 0 (should be 1)

Here is the program I used to test this -- see the comments in the source for
instructions (they are importaint):
http://paste.dprogramming.com/dpavbrtf

As you can see, although all paths are reported as relative, they are indeed
absolute.
This is visible by the fact that main.d cannot find test-rel which lies in the
same dir as the program itself.
It can, however find test-abs, which lies the root of the drive.
