Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for!
The replacement is working fine now, at least in a hackish way, which is 
good enough for my local working copy ;) (see below)

You might be right, but I am not familiar with qmake/cmake-based projects, 
so I'm not sure whether this flexibility would be of any use to them?
Also, to implement this in a proper way, I'd have to make sure that I 
identify the file name components in a more platform-independent way, i.e. 
not by looking for the last forward-slash. Here I was hoping that the 
IFile object could take care of that abstraction, but it seems to really 
only know about the full filename string?

Thanks, I'll try that (again) when I'm not behind a restrictive firewall 
:)

All the best,
