ConfigReader::Simple now breaks windows paths
Oops.
If you upgrade to ConfigReader::Simple, which automatically does continuation lines, your configuration values may come out funny if you have windows paths since a trailing directory separator looks like the start of a continuation.
base_dir \
You can, however, quote the value to prevent that, at least until I get a fix ready.
base_dir "\"

I hate that! What an idiot I feel for not spotting it...
Even worse I use to use Windows! but as
\doesn't usually work as a base dir, you need something more specific such asc:\, you can almost never use\. Normally I let Perl do it's magic, and use proper Unix/notation, e.g.c:/, and Perl would know what to do at the file system level.Well, at least I said it passes the tests, but could break in use, I just wish I'd come up with better tests, then this would have been spotted earlier...

We will just make it an option instead of a mandatory feature.
