A possible change is to make cmd_file() in init.c remap '\' to '/'
when compiled for MS Windows. The C library for Windows seems to
cope with either character as a directory separator.
Then there is just the -P C: part of the problem to deal with. I
haven't investigated that properly yet, but I guess some bit of
code is looking for a relative subdirectory named C: or something.
