Description
Summary of the bug:
The FFREPORT environmental variable can't support a drive letter in the path to the log file (Windows systems) due to the use of ':' as a field separator. For example, FFREPORT=file=c:\temp\log.txt:loglevel=56 gets interpreted as a filename of only "c"
How to reproduce:
Set FFREPORT to a path including a drive letter. Look for the resulting "Report written to <x>" message in the output, where <x> is the drive letter in the path.

FYI, this would be an issue for OSX as well since it supports colons in its directory and filenames, although more easily avoidable than on Win32.
