load_from_file doesn't work on Windows
Reported by Neil Wilson | May 14th, 2008 @ 04:12 AM
Windows paths don't start with '/' so the guard in line 172 of 'loading.rb' fails on fully qualified paths and you get an erroneous exception raised in 'find_file_in_load_path'.

I don't really have a windows machine handy for testing or resolving this. Any chance you could provide a patch?

Any particular reason why you want to avoid testing the filesystem? If
not why not go for:
file = find_file_in_load_path(file) unless File.file?(file)

Thanks for the suggestion Neil, that's much cleaner.
