The paths are difficult to work with, as it stands now. For example,

...skipped 
<status\regress.test\metrowerks\debug\runtime-link-dynamic>regress.test for 
lack of 
<libs!regex!build\libboost_regex.lib\metrowerks\debug\runtime-link-dynamic>libboost_regex.lib...

The first path is missing the leading "..\".

The first path is missing "\bin" after "status".

The second path is missing the leading "..\".

The second path is missing "\bin" after "build".

The second path uses "!" for some separators.

I can program around all of these, of course. But it is tedious, fragile, 
and a general pain.

Is there any chance these problems can be fixed in the current version?
