Well, it depends upon the tool you're using. We are building drivers,
and they need the build.exe tool, which is part of the DDK. That one can
only compile files in the current directory. As John has pointed out, it
might even be able to compile files in the parent directory, which would
help here.

We already use cygwin.

While this would be a work-around, I consider it very error-prone.
