Relative paths for source files issue

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

If you have separated Visual Studio's project and source files into different 
folders the object and definition files will not be generated with valid names.

Example) Say source is located "../src/foobar.c"

the generated make file will try to output "gccDebug/../src/foobar.o" which 
does not work.

Quick fix I did for this is by modifying the MakeItSo source in 
MakefileBuilder_Project_CPP.cs (I'm using a C framework) and stripping the 
relative path component from the target files by:

foreach (string filename in m_projectInfo.getFiles())
{
    var fileNameOnly = Path.GetFileName(filename);
    string path = String.Format("{0}/{1}", intermediateFolder, fileNameOnly);
    string objectPath = Path.ChangeExtension(path, ".o");
...

and further down

foreach (string filename in m_projectInfo.getFiles())
{
    // We work out the filename, the object filename and the 
    // dependencies filename...
    var fileNameOnly = Path.GetFileName(filename);
    string path = String.Format("{0}/{1}", intermediateFolder, fileNameOnly);
    string objectPath = Path.ChangeExtension(path, ".o");
    string dependenciesPath = Path.ChangeExtension(path, ".d");
...

Hi Christian. 

I did reproduce the problem and I think it's the same issue I encountered in 
early October (see the merged issue). I did the modifications but I don't think 
it has the expected behavior.

Your fix changes the output directory even when a TargetName is given (which I 
normal, since it's been added after you posted your issue). I will have a look 
at it today, stay tuned.
