I think we've reached the end of the line now.

The problem probably arises because the Windows version of the Examiner 
used to use '/' as the marker for each command qualifier.  This has now 
been changed to '-' in line with the Unix version.

I would encourage you to report the different behaviour of the '/' in 
the command-line and spark.sw versions as this looks like a bit of the 
Examiner that hasn't been correctly upgraded for that change.
It would explain why
-index_file=src/spark.idx
results in "spark.idx is an invalid command line option." on Windows

Cheers,
