    I think both me and Nicolas agree that this "fix" isn't going to solve the 
case where this and other similar characters can't be fully supported as long 
as we are using the module descriptor attributes (via patterns of course) for 
file names. That's not the goal of this PR. 
    
    I haven't ever tested the issue at hand on Windows, so I can't say one way 
or the other, but  the issue noted in the JIRA was apparently working in a 
previous version of Ivy. This PR is an attempt to do 2 things:
    
    - Let the previously working user project, work again.
    - Change the implementation detail in that method, which is changed in this 
commit, to use a different way to identify file system root, instead of relying 
on the presence of a specific character to determine that. So irrespective of 
whether we support the colon (and other similar characters), this change 
probably still is worth it.
