Gordon Pettey commented on MASSEMBLY-775:
-----------------------------------------

It's not checking "a path starting with / on a Windows system". It's checking a 
path starting with / as the target path in the assembled archive, which is 
utter nonsense. The zip/tar/whatever file isn't ever going to have "Windows" 
paths with drive letters in it. {{/}} is THE appropriate way to specify the 
root directory of the archive.

> Emit WARNING instead of ERROR
