Summary: Build fails if Wixlib reference is an UNC path

Initial Comment:
We are using a custom UI wixlib that is located in a network share. The library 
is referenced from the project using a property that holds an UNC path to 
server directory, for example:

<PropertyGroup>
  <RepositoryDir>\\Server\share\</RepositoryDir>
</PropertyGroup>
<WixLibrary Include="$(RepositoryDir)UILib\UI.wixlib">
  <HintPath>$(RepositoryDir)UILib\UI.wixlib</HintPath>
</WixLibrary>

When building the project, MSBuild passes the path to light in correct format 
including both backslashes in the path (\\..), but the code in wconsole.dll 
that parses command line arguments skips one backslash of the path causing 
light to receive the path as "\Server\share\UI.wixlib" and the build fails. 
This issue has been there from version 3725.
