This PR contains a fix for the Windows absolute path problem described under issue #497.
It implements a heuristic that attempts to detect the specific Windows absolute path situation in the first two parameter parts (template file and output file) and rectifies it by recombining the accidentially-splitted parts. Unfortunately that seems to be the best-possible solution to the underlying problem as long as the --doc_opt format specification is to be kept as-is.
Tests have been added that fail with the original code, but succeed with the fix.
