It is pretty easy to handle, but must happen at a higher level 
than buildNormalizedPath.

Use GetCommandLine to fetch the original thing the user typed, 
then process it yourself.

But buildNormalizedPath cannot do this itself because its 
argument doesn't necessarily come from the command line.

Your main() function could use it to get the string you pass to 
the other functions though. That's probably what most the Windows 
built in things do when they need to.
