Summary: Have a split corresponding with os.path.join

Initial Comment:
I would be nice to have a function to do the exact
opposite of os.path.join, something like an
os.path.splitall or fullsplit.

Rationale:
Currently, on Windows, using os.path.split produce the
following result:
 os.path.split('Z:/xyz') => ('Z:/', 'xyz')
It exceptionaly keep the \ after the drive.  This
exception makes str.split incompatible with
os.path.join that is expecting the \.

Spliting fully a path is useful when transforming
absolute paths to relative paths.  I could also be nice
to have a function to do that in os.path.
