Error parsing commandline module path in Windows

[gimmi]

The command:

java -cp js.jar org.mozilla.javascript.tools.shell.Main -modules "C:\Users\Gimmi\Sources\jsmake\"

Throws this rerror on Windows:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: java.net.URISyntaxException: Illegal character in path at index 5: Users\Gimmi\Sources\jsmake

This command instead seems to work (note the "" replaced with "/"):

java -cp js.jar org.mozilla.javascript.tools.shell.Main -modules "file:///C:/Users/Gimmi/Sources/jsmake/"

As the module directory needs to be an URI it is expected that file:///C:/Users/Gimmi/Sources/jsmake/ works and C:\Users\Gimmi\Sources\jsmake\ doesn't, as the later isn't a URI, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Resource_Identifier#Syntax
