#1 Issue in Cygwin support

[Olivier Jacques]

Cygwin support has some issues:
- Config files must be in Unix format. A DOS format
(\r\n line ended) is rejected with a parsing error.
- Paths, as indicated in config files, for logs for
example are not understood, either by using
"..\mypath\myfile.log" or "../mypath/myfile.log". Both
"\" and "/" should work so that the same config files
can be used for *ux and cygwin version
