 Description   
You cannot lookup java:/SomeDS as : is an illegal character on the MS Windows platform.

CVS HEAD now strips out the : from java:/ to just leave it with java/ [which has an implied delimiter of /].

This may not be the solution for 0.6. Possibly a more generic escaping concept will be considered.

Two ways to do this in the new version.

Either use SPACE to set a header to all your requests ie: SPACE=java:comp,
or use COLON_REPLACE to set a different set of characters to be used as colons, ie: colon.replace=java--.properties.
