Seems too simple, but here's a patch to get curl to understand drive letters
(i. e. absolute paths) in Windows. Before this patch,

$ ./curl -v file://localhost/src/cobra/curl/tests/log/test200.txt

curl would look in /src/cobra/curl/tests/log/test200.txt of the current
drive. After this patch, curl looks in src/cobra/curl/tests/log/test200.txt
relative to the current directory.

However, before this patch,

$ ./curl -v file://localhost/c:/src/cobra/curl/tests/log/test200.txt

curl would look for /c:/src/cobra/curl/tests/log/test200.txt and not find
anything. After this patch, curl looks in
c:/src/cobra/curl/tests/log/test200.txt and happily finds what it's looking
for.

It gets as far through the testsuite as before the patch. Not saying much I
suppose since %PWD still doesn't do the right thing for native Windows
builds.

Please let me know what you think.

Thanks.
