What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Unzip siege-windows to C:\tools\siege-windows
2. Move C:\tools\siege-windows\etc\siegerc to C:\Users\[username]\.siegerc
2. Add C:\tools\siege-windows to PATH environment variable
3. Open command prompt
4. Run siege -h

Expected output:

Siege usgae / help 

Actual output:

****************************************************
siege: could not open /cygdrive/c/siege-windows/etc/siegerc
Make sure you put Siege and required files in C:\siege-windows
****************************************************

Environment:

Windows 8.1, siege-windows 3.0.5

FIX:

I already have the fix, I just wanted to mention it:

My system was missing the HOME environment variable (probably because I don't 
have Cygwin installed) so I added it:

HOME = %USERPROFILE%

Restart command-line and siege starts working :)
