This case doesn't seem to cause any problems for me.
I just tested absolute paths for the <source> property
and it seems to work.  The reason is that if we end up with
a property like <source>/another//C:/some/path/src/foobar.cpp,
project-target.find splits it at the //, finds the project corresponding
to /another and looks up C:/some/path/src/foobar.cpp in the context of
this project.
