So you want to force users to make sure the resources he's using is where you think they have to be? I'm not 
sure, but when I'm correct, xmllint currently only accepts relative paths...

':' can't be used as separator on win32. It's already recognized on other places in your code iirc and all 
platform independent programs/libs have to deal with this problem.
In my first mail I said that's more a hack than a real fix and asked for help - without any response :(
