As far as i understand, the mechanism for detecting the occurrence of a
line breakpoint matches the pathes from the php engine to the breakpoint
list in php. On a windows system these pathes are of the form
C:\apps\apache2\..., for example.

Unfortunately i was not able to set a breakpoint with a drive letter in
it, because of the colon. Somewhere else in xdebug i've found some code
which handles Win32 pathes in the form C|/apps/apache2/...

With the proposed patch, it is now possible to send pathes for
breakpoints in that form to xdebug.

But maybe i'm getting something completly wrong here and there is an
easier solution.

Yeah, of course. As usual, this started as a quick hack ... and then
stayed that way :-)
