Details:

The native win32 binary, release 1.2, can't use the root directory of a
windows file system as source directory without a exception on execution.

Exception 'Unexpected end to file description c:\' raised of class '<class
'rdiff_backup.SetConnections.SetConnectionsException'>':
  File "rdiff_backup\Main.pyc", line 302, in error_check_Main
  File "rdiff_backup\Main.pyc", line 317, in Main
  File "rdiff_backup\SetConnections.pyc", line 59, in get_cmd_pairs
  File "rdiff_backup\SetConnections.pyc", line 107, in parse_file_desc
  File "rdiff_backup\SetConnections.pyc", line 98, in check_len 

The function 'parse_file_desc()' in 'SetConnection.py' works with 'c:\dir'
but not with 'c:\' or 'c:\dir1\'

The problem is strings which ends with a backslash (as the logic thinks that
it is a escape character which it isn't in this case and that will generate an
index out of bound error)
