Fails with RuntimeError

[tadvi]

Tried xe bootstrap
and simply xe or xe --help all fails with

RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object

My setup is Windows 8.1 with Python 3.4

Full call stack is:

It looks like it isn't finding a project root file (ie setup.py, .xerc, etc.) and it is also not hitting filesystem root. I suspect that my check for '/' for isn't correct. Unfortunately, I don't have a windows box to test.

@tadvi Can you try to send along a pull request? The code in question is https://github.com/ionrock/xe/blob/master/xe/__init__.py#L48

Thanks for creating the issue!
