Anyone have any idea how to remove a trailing (back) slash from a

$(patsubst %\,%,$(VARIABLE))
will do it.
Awesome Paul, thanks. I didn't realize you could use % in patsubst.
Sure, that's what the "pat" in "patsubst" stands for: "pattern".
Are you sure that would match everything up to the slash though, including
base directories and other slashes that might be there? I thought % only
matched the non-directory part of a file.
Yes I'm sure. You can check the documentation:
Here PATTERN may contain a `%' which acts as a wildcard,
matching any number of any characters within a word.
