Thank you for your response.

The project files will work, at least after some tweaking which can be 
automated. They only include the absolute paths to the CMake tool for 
the ALL/INSTALL targets, but these targets are not strictly neccessary 
for Visual Studio only environments, so I'd strip them out.

As for makefiles: what does the 'use relative paths' advanced option do? 
I thought it might solve precisely this problem.

I've used bakefile so far (sourceforge.net/projects/bakefile), which can 
do that, but am looking for a different solution.

Best regards
