[elephant-devel] Start of 0.6.1 Beta Cycle

[Ian Eslick]

config.sexp is only a reference file.  You copy this to my- 
config.sexp and then edit the paths to be the appropriate ones for  
your system.

What is hardcoded is the conversion from Windows paths to cygwin  
paths.  I've made the edit that Edi suggested which is to use / 
cygdrive/<drive letter>/ instead of /<drive letter>/ as in your  
installation.  It should work and be more compatible.

Or have I missed something that is hardcoded (there is some  
hardcoding in ele-clsql.asd that I need to make configuration options.
