daisydiff.jar will not process local files

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,

I'm interested in using daisydiff for a non-java project, the easiest way
would be to shell out and feed daisydiff.jar two local files, and read the
results file.  Unfortunately, it seems to accept only remote addresses...

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.
$ cat > t1
<h1>test</h1>
^C

2. cat > t2
<h1>test two</h1>
^C

3. java -jar daisydiff.jar t1 t2

     ______________
    /Daisy Diff 0.1\
   /________________\

Comparing documents:
  t1
and
  t2

Diff type: html
Writing html output to daisydiff.htm

.java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: URI is not absolute
    at java.net.URI.toURL(URI.java:1080)
    at org.outerj.daisy.diff.Main.main(Main.java:87)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

HTML diff

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

0.1

is it an option to add file:// before the file path?

That would be a great workaround, but I tried file:// and it doesn't like that 
either.
Then it says ".javaj.net.UnknownHostException: <filename>"
when trying to establish a socket connection.

(I gotta say, this has the potential of being pretty cool).
