I think that this is basically the correct fix.  It ought to
be an invariant that if a project has an id attribute, this id
must have been registered.

If I recall correctly
exe xxx : kuku//ooo won't work, because project.find assumes
that project ids start with /.  At the moment
exe xxx : /abla/ooo ; ought to work, but not
exe xxx : abla//ooo ; for instance.
