Pytest won't accept argument starting with ../../
I have added a custom command line argument --dll but when I supply a path starting with ../../ it doesn't recognize the argument:
# pytest --dll ../../lib.dll
ERROR: usage: pytest [options] [file_or_dir] [file_or_dir] [...]
pytest: error: unrecognized arguments: --dll
However it works if I type "--dll=../../lib.dll", "--dll ../lib.dll" or put another argument before.
Why is this and is it pytest specific?
I'm running this from Cygwin with Cygwin's python.

On windows, path separators are \ not / -try ..\..\lib.dll
