BUG: incorrect path comparison

[sandeepd-nv]

Please do not use string comparison for comparing paths. Consider normalizing the paths before comparison using os.path.normpath or use the Path class etc.

conda-build/conda_build/post.py

Line 466 in c71c4ab

assert base_prefix == dirname(host_prefix)

I am hitting this assert since one of the paths has an extra path separator at the end (otherwise both paths are identical to each other).
