[ECOS] configtool does not find its database

[Bob Brusa]

Hi,
this is a better version - meaning spelling errors and missing parts fix 
- of a previous mail.
++++++++++++
I installed ecos on a windows 10.64/cygwin (32-bit) computer. When 
starting up configtool, it reports the following:

ecos.db:error
    couldn't read file "/opt/ecos/ecos_cvs/ecos/packages/ecos.db": no 
such file or directory

but the root of the eCos repository is correct:

D:\osy\cygwin\opt\ecos\ecos_cvs\ecos

and the file packages/ecos.db exists.

It seems to be a problem of a missing translation from a windows path to 
a posix path or vice versa. How does one fix this?
Regards - Bob
