Summary:                    ncc does not perceive a paths in Windows format
Description: 
I try create MSBuild project which may be loaded in VS 2005.
I have faced a problem. In VS 2005 exists dialog window that provide
functionality to create or specify path to snk-file. This dialog specify
path in Windosw format "xxx\yyy\...". ncc generate error for this path
format:
error : cannot open file `/keyfile:misc\keys\Nemerle.Compiler.snk': The
given path's format is not supported.

Pliase, cerret this behavior and allow Windosw path format.

The problem a more deeper.

I try convert path to *nix path format. But ncc it's all the same report
error:
Nemerle.MSBuild.targets(29,9): error : cannot open file
`/keyfile:misc/keys/Nemerle.Compiler.snk': The given path's format is not
supported.

I look through source code and have understood, that ncc does not support a
key "/keyfile", though MSBuildTask traces it and transfers it to the
compiler.

Come out, the two mistakes: 
1. Ncc does not support a key/keyfile.
2. Ncc incorrectly informs that there was a unfamiliar key.

../out.stage3/ncc.exe t.n
/keyfile:"C:\\cygwin\\home\\nazgul\\nemerle\\misc\\keys\\Nemerle.snk"

works fine for me. Maybe it is an issue with MSBuild?

Ncc itself handle the path correctly.

I try create simple test and compile it from command line.
But this no affect.

I'm not sure if boot/ncc.exe supports this feature. Please try using
out.stage3/
