When embedding a Xindice database within another application on a Windows
system, setting the dbroot to an absolute pathname like "C:\..." fails with
a BTreeFiler exception that the database isn't open.
The problem is in Database.setConfig, which checks if the dbroot is an
absolute path by looking to see if the string starts with "/", which is
great on Unix, not so great on Windoze.
The attached patch fixes the bug.
Thanks for providing Xindice.
