rw1020 Rcmd INSTALL path\ deletes rw1020\library\* (PR#789)

The trailing backslash seems to be the culprit.


After looking at rw1020\bin\INSTALL, I noticed

	$pkg =~ s/\/$//;

which I assume is to strip the trailing slash from a package name
before obtaining the package name and cleaning out its directory

I added 

	$pkg =~ s/\\$//;

immediately after this line. Rerunning 

	Rcmd INSTALL C:\rw1011\src\library\bqtl\

with that change seemed to work OK

The session follows further below. 

----------------------------------------
More details:

Using cmdproxy.exe under emacs shell-mode under Win98,

It seems that the problem arose when I used 

	Rcmd INSTALL C:\rw1011\src\library\bqtl\

A subsequent

	Rcmd INSTALL C:\rw1011\src\library\bqtl

also failed. 

Inspection showed that all the directories under C:\rw1011\src\library
were gone.

I reran rwinst.exe to put them back in place

then I reran

	Rcmd INSTALL C:\rw1011\src\library\bqtl

and everything seemed to go thru OK (up to creating chtml, which the
system was not configured to do anyway. But library(bqtl) works, examples
all run, all seems OK, etc.)
