Sounds right.

"d:foo/bar", relative or absolute? I think the latter, so I suggest not to
require the 3rd character to be a slash, in which case (1) gets solved
automatically.
`d:foo/bar` is wierd; it's relative if your current drive is `d:`, otherwise
it's absolute.

considered "absolute" on Windows, and likewise "\foo\bar". Which brings the
backslash issue back.
You're right. I had just made a quick change to keep me going. The proper
changes will be somewhat more complicated. If I get the chance to provide a
proper fix before I see a patch in the repo, I'll post a better fix here.
On the `bootstrap.bat` change: I don't know if that is peculiar to my setup;
I'm running from powershell. I don't think that that would make a difference
to the interpretation of `.bat` files, but windows quoting is weird, so who
knows.
Thanks for the feedback.
