if TAO_ROOT ends with / we can't compile the rtec orbsvcs, it complains it can't find OctetSeq.pidl

This would seem like a special case of the general problem of what we will allow for env variables. What about multiple /s (or \s on Windows) or ..s? What if a / gets used on Windows? Without trying these combinations, I have no idea what will happen. And there's the added possibility that some cases may cause preprocessor-specific problems.
