ResourceStorePath cannot be set for to an absolute Windows directory path

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Set ResourceStorePath to a Windows directory (C:/diffable)
2. Starts the application server
3. As the directory don't start with a "/", Diffable consider the path as a 
relative path.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The expected output would be the use of the directory defined in the 
configuration file.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Diffable 0.1
OS : Windows XP

Please provide any additional information below.

I would suggest to use a file URI scheme to distinguish an absolute path from a 
relative path.
An absolute path would be defined as :
ResourceStorePath=file://C:/diffable
or 
ResourceStorePath=file:///usr/somepath/

And for relative path it will be :
ResourceStorePath=diffable/

As suggested, we use a file URI scheme prefix to distinguish an absolute path 
from a relative path.
An absolute path is defined like below :
ResourceStorePath=file://C:/diffable
or 
ResourceStorePath=file:///usr/somepath/

And for relative path it is defined like this :
ResourceStorePath=diffable/
