Summary0009182: file(TO_CMAKE_PATH) alters leading // haphazardly
DescriptionTake the following test case:

macro(macro_test _in)
    file(TO_CMAKE_PATH "${_in}" _out)
    message(STATUS "${_in} => ${_out}")
endmacro(macro_test _in _out)
macro_test("//hello/")
macro_test("//hello//")

the output is:
-- //hello/ => //hello
-- //hello// => /hello

Why does the leading // disappear with the second input?

CMake should never alter the number of leading '/'s or at least should never reduce from >1 to 1 (on POSIX a leading // is left to the implementation to handle as it wishes, e.g., with CIFS)
