Description:
All programms in package die with error  "unknown variable 'character-set-xxx=xxx'",
if I try set this vars in config file. At run-time all work fine. 

How to repeat:
in c:\my.cnf

[client]
set-variable=character_set_client=cp1251

or 

set-variable=character-set-client=cp1251

and, in this example, mysql die. Meanwhile 'default_character_set' work fine.

Suggested fix:
Add set-variable=character_set_xxx in windows part of config's file parser.
