Meh, g.os_path_join doesn't handle these correctly, it says:

>>> os.path.join("a:\\path", "\\other")
'\\other'

So, I've written code for that case. What about this one:

>>> os.path.join("\\\\server\\share", "\\root\\relative")
'\\root\\relative'

That's wrong, but what's right,
'\\\\server\\share\\root\\relative' or
'\\\\server\\root\\relative' ???

The first, I guess?
