I built and tested (and even debugged) it on Windows, and at least my own test cases worked fine.

It's used for all URIs, not just .xq files, so I think --uri-path / theURIPath is more accurate.

IMHO, a "path" is "a list of directories." See $PATH in shell, $CLASSPATH in Java, etc. So I consistently used "path" for the URI path and Library path. I couldn't change setModulePaths(), but actually that's kind of accurate because what that function now does is set both the URI and Library paths simultaneously.

I spelled out that "path" == "list of directories" in comments and the --help output, so hopefully it's not confusing.

I don't think so. I left --module-path there because I assumed people were using it. It is sometimes convenient as well. I originally considered marking it as "deprecated" and I'm still not sure that it shouldn't be...

Hm. The variable is only for CMake. I didn't think that "backwards compatibility" extended all the way to build configuration variables. I don't think it's possible to maintain that variable even as a "convenience wrapper", because it would break the core/non-core split.

That is now done.
