Join one or more path segments intelligently. The return value is the

concatenation of *path* and all members of *\*paths*, with exactly one

directory separator following each non-empty part except the last. That is,

ifthelast part is empty, theresult will end in a separator. If

asegment is an absolute path (which on Windows requires both a drive and a

root), then all previous segments are ignored and joining continues from the

absolute path segment.

On Windows, the drive is not reset when a rooted path segment (e.g.,

``r'\foo'``) is encountered. If a segment is on a different drive or is an
