Description

The acl-file option does not correctly recognize windows paths of the form x:\... as absolute paths and attempts to append them to the brokers data-dir

To reproduce (on windows): qpidd --acl-file c:\path\to\policy.acl

Result: log contains
error Unable to open ACL file "<data-dir>/c:\path\to\policy.acl"

Expected result: should load file correctly.
