  * normalise: Handle trailing "." in path names
  
  For example, (normalise "../.") was returning "../.", now ".."
  
  This patch modifies dropDots such that the check for (".":[]) only
  occurs once for the path, after which a driver function dropDots' is
  used which skips this check. Hence "." can be removed from the
  end of a longer path, but a path of just "." is unchanged.

 At least ghc-6.6.1 is able to build it without problems.
 (package can be used in cabal-1.8, which is known to work
 on ghc-6.4+)

 So now
         splitFileName "foo" = ("./", "foo")
 
 which gives us the additional property that
 
 > Valid x => isValid (fst (splitFileName x))
 
 This property is important, because it means that we can pass the
 result of takeDirectory to any of the functions in System.Directory,
 whereas previously we would have to check for the empty case first.
 
 After discussion on the libraries list, I removed the second part of
 the original change:
 
         "." </> x = x
 
 This small bit of normalisation was there to ensure that the property
 
 > Valid x => uncurry </> (splitFileName x) == x
 
 still held.  However, it was arguably inconsistent (see the
 discussion).  Now this property has an exception:
 
 > Valid x => uncurry (</>) (splitFileName x) == x || fst (splitFileName x) == "./"
 
 This is a small price to pay to gain the new property above.
