Description:
agent crashes with runtime error when installed/started from a path that contains 'strange' char:

C:\Programme\MySQL\MySQL Network 2.0>cd "Ändÿ - Test - with cr@zü char"

C:\Programme\MySQL\MySQL Network 2.0\Ändÿ - Test - with cr@zü char>mysql-service-agent.exe --version
MySQL Service Agent - 1.2.0.7406, (glib lib=2.6.5, headers=2.6.5)

C:\Programme\MySQL\MySQL Network 2.0\Ändÿ - Test - with cr@zü char>mysql-service-agent.exe -f mysql-service-agent.ini
2007-09-04 17:34:53: ((error)) parsing configile failed: [agent].log-file: Key file contains key 'log-file' which has value that cannot be interpreted.

How to repeat:
- install agent to "C:\Programme\MySQL\MySQL Network 2.0>cd "Ändÿ - Test - with cr@zü char" (use ALT-152 to create the 'ÿ' I used in the path ...)
- start from command prompt: mysql-service-agent.exe -f mysql-service-agent.ini

Suggested fix:
accept all char in the path that are valid on the OS

the .ini file was not changed after it has been created by the installer.
