I've added tests that:
* run from a subfolder.
* make sure that source-location is respected.
* Use native and normalized absolute paths.

I think that I finally duplicated Rene's problem with absolute paths by 
using
 <source>/C:/... (Note the leading /).  It should work now.

I'm attaching what I hope is the final revision of this patch.
