The conditions simply fail when a relative path is used. It's a bit sloopy 
because he code doesn't handle this explicitely, but no actual harm is 
done. Currently there exists no solution that enables relative paths on 
Windows.

What is extremly tiring is that only a small change (slightly dirty) is 
needed to make absolute paths work on Windows and we have started yet 
anoter endless thread about it (mostly questions and nitpickings). And when 
I bother to make it more clean, I'm told not to make it complicated. Hmpf. 
But nice that Andreas couldn't be bothered to acknowledge the correctness 
of my code, which isn't so hard to read. In fact I think it's easier to 
understand than those "silent failure on Windows" hacks.
