'root' does not seem to accept a relative path

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. In config file: root . (or root ./)

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

The same directory that Mongoose is in should be served as the root, like
is implied for the access and error logs. I believe it serves C:\ (Windows)
by default.

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

Mongoose 2.6 on Windows XP Home SP3.

Please provide any additional information below.

cgi_interp seems to accept a correct relative path.

It would be useful to specify the root as "." because then a config file could 
be
copied from one directory to another and serve files wherever it is run. Other
relative paths could be useful, too.

However, the same behaviour could be achieved with current version.
If you do not specify "root" option at all, the default is current directory.

Please sync and verify the fix, reopen the bug if not happy.

Yes, that works. If allowing a relative path is too difficult, don't worry about
this, probably most users will be happy with an absolute path.
