In that case we ought to fix svn_path_split and remove the all the
svn_path_is_empty_nts tests. I don't think it's an APR problem
though, it's the absence of separators such as

   svn_path_split_nts( "foo" ) gives "" and "foo"

This behaviour is enforced by the path-split regression tests. Within
the subversion code there are some places where "" works as the
current directory, and there are some where it doesn't work.
