Unable to open a shape file that contains ".shp" in its path.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Trying to open a shape file that contains ".shp" in its path.
For example:
C:\Users\USER\shapes.shp\buildings.shp

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
There is a FileNotFoundException:
Could not find file "c:\users\USER\shapes\buildings.dbf"

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
v1.13.0

Please provide any additional information below.
The problem is in the ctor of ShapefileDataReader.
line 40: filename = filename.ToLower().Replace(".shp", String.Empty);
It replaces not only the extension of the file but also parts of its path.
I recommend using Path.ChangeExtension(string path, string extension) instead.
