Dillo - local file as command line argument (Announce)

I did a few tests of the local files feature (using the Win32 version!).

When I start dillo with a plain file argument:

C:\TEMP>c:\dillo\dillo Manual.html

it tries to translate the argument to a full URL - file:/:\TEMP/Manual.html.

However, this is not quite correct; there's no "drive letter" in the URL, and hence the file isn't found by dillo. Firefox translates a command line argument to file:///C:/TEMP/Manual.html.
