The title taken together with the above explanation makes it sound
as if wildmatch code does not work with the pattern /foo on Windows
at all and to avoid the issue (instead of fixing the breakage) this
patch removes such tests.
But I suspect that is not what is going on. Perhaps the title of the
change is more like "test-wildmatch: avoid Windows path mangling"
and explain with "On Windows, any command line argument that begins
with a slash is mangled as if it were a full pathname. This causes
patterns beginning with a slash not to be passed to test-wildmatch
correctly" or something?
