I had thought of doing that originally.. We've got a really goofy
directory setup that has 3 different existing projects all morphed into
a new project (w/ multiple executables) and we need to ensure that we 
get the exact file we're after because we have many source files that 
live in two different trees that we're inheriting from and they may have 
differences.. It's hard to explain and we're trying to get the most 
flexibility we can.. I believe that Philip got me past the humps that 
were keeping this from working..  Anyway, hope that helps..
