[iostreams][como] Object files being created in wrong directory

Hi,

I've finally configured como to run the regression tests and am looking into the
linker errors that occur with gzip_test and zlib_test: http://tinyurl.com/7wz83.

I've discovered that the zlib source files are being built correctly but that
the object files are being stored in libs/iostreams/test instead of in
bin/boost/libs/iostreams/....

When I look at the command lines, I see that the output files have no directory
prefix; e.g.

"C:\Tools\como\bin\como" --vc71 -c --c99 -e5 --no_version
--display_error_number --diag_suppress=9,21,161,748,940,962
--a -DBOOST_COMO_STRICT=1 --no_inlining /Zi /Od -D_WIN32
-DBOOST_SP_DISABLE_THREADS
-I"..\..\..\bin\boost\libs\iostreams\test"
-I"C:\Libraries\zlib-1.2.1"
-I"C:\Tools\como\libcomo C:\Tools\como\libcomo\cnames"
-o "compress.obj" "C:\Libraries\zlib-1.2.1\compress.c"

^^^^

I don't know how to fix this problem. Any ideas?

Jonathan
