[Box Backup] Win32 Issues

Sorry, but I don't think BB 0.10 works properly on Cygwin. A number of the 
unit tests fail.

Please consider using the Windows native client, which you can find at 
[http://boxbackup.hostworks.ca/index.php/0.10#Windows_Client].

You will probably have to change your configuration file, since all paths 
should use "\" as the path separator, and "/cygdrive/c" should be changed 
to "C:\".

Cheers, Chris.
