It was just slapping on a path separator to the front of the path to
make it absolute, but on windows, a path like "//foo/bar" actually
has a network "drive" of "//foo" and so that broke the test case.
Since "a:foo" is a somehow relative path on windows
(who knows how), drop any drive from the input. But dropDrive also drops
any leading path separator, making the input path relative. So now
it should be safe to slapp on a leading path separator.
This was not a good test, it broke the requirement that
relPathDirToFileAbs take absolute paths. And it failed when the two
input paths were eg, the same but differently normalized.
Replaced with some tests of the real basics of that function.
All properties changed to use them, except for
prop_encode_c_decode_c_roundtrip, which already filtered to ascii
for other reasons.
A few modules had to be split out, because Setup does not build-depend
on QuickCheck.
Had to split out some modules because getWorkingDirectory needs unix,
which is not a build-dep of configure.

Eliminated some dead code. In other cases, exported a currently unused
function, since it was a logical part of the API.
Of course this improves the API documentation. It may also sometimes
let ghc optimize code better, since it can know a function is internal
to a module.
364 modules still to go, according to
git grep -E 'module [A-Za-z.]+ where'
Fourth or fifth try at this and finally found a way to make it work.
Absurd amount of busy-work forced on me by change in cabal's behavior.
Split up Utility modules that need posix stuff out of ones used by
Setup. Various other hacks around inability for Setup to use anything
that ifdefs a use of unix.
Probably lost a full day of my life to this.
This is how build systems make their users hate them. Just saying.
