I think that doing that means I still need to duplicate the actual build rules, which is what I was hoping to avoid, as they encode all the magic "path replacement" logic in multiple places.

On the other hand, I can fix *that*, if I break the ability to run in the build directory, which is bad in its own way. (Fixing the tests should be a matter of adapting the test library slightly, I think.)

For the time being, I'm going with ugly, but less disruptive, and I'm willing/planning on revisiting it when things shake out a bit more.
