BPython:

-- Stephane Soppera (thanks) reported libc stat function fails for paths ending with "\" under win with free VC++ compiler toolkit 2003:
    removed final '/' (BLI_make_file_string changes the '/' to '\\\\' for win) slashes from relevant paths, that should take care of it .  Note: here (linux, glibc, gcc 3.3.3) stat doesn't have this problem.  Also checking if U.pythondir ends with a slash and, if so (as long as its length > 2 to), removing the slash, for the same reason.
-- small cosmetic changes in BPY_menus.c for debug msgs and in header_scripts (added a separator in the Scripts win -> Scripts menu).
