I want to stress the ".." (parent dir), as in
"./../GNUstep"
it's very cool for me to put GNUstep resources in an other directories (yet 
in a relative position)
because I sometimes "clean" my projet by deleting the bin folder.
And, also, VS.NET sometimes build in "bin/debug" or "bin/release" according 
to my build mode.

This way I don't have to copy the resource again everytime I do that.

Ultra cool.
This way is, indeed, easy, I'll try tomorrow...
