Description

When compiling under windows - the resulting yaml contains:

magic-file: C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Suricata\\magic.mgc

notice the double backspace.
The line like that in yaml, used under windows - fails to start Suricata

If the line below is used:

magic-file: C:\Program Files (x86)\Suricata\magic.mgc

Suri starts, no problem.

Current default is to set no path, and let libmagic figure it out. Seems to work well, so closing this.
