That sort of idea did occur to me. The build directory does not 
necessarily have to be on the target machine so long as the executable 
can be transferred. I will need to investigate the limits of remote 
execution capability of a QNX system when controlled from a Windows box. 
I shall persue these ideas further in the Jamboost list.
