I'm 99% sure they work just find on Windows. I have test for them and  
the tests pass on Windows.

I think you are mistaken.  What makes you think they don't work?

The -c option and the -N and -o options are unrelated.

If you don't want to use the buildout.cfg from the current working  
directory, then you need to use -c to specify an alternate buildout  
configuration.

I suggest using -c and -No (or just -o) together.
