Hi,

I'm trying to access ziped files on Windows using the /vsizip but it 
fails most of times

According to docs, this should work no?

gdalinfo c:/vsizip/m_gmt_so/tmp/N37W008.hgt.zip/N37W008.hgt

but it doesn't. I get
ERROR 4: `c:/vsizip/m_gmt_so/tmp/N37W008.hgt.zip/N37W008.hgt' does not 
exist in the file system,
and is not recognised as a supported dataset name.

However, I'm able to make it work by using the unix pathname syntax

gdalinfo /vsizip/m_gmt_so/tmp/N37W008.hgt.zip/N37W008.hgt

but even this only works when I run the command from the root dir, that 
is from C:\
If run it from any another location I get the same error message.
