I'd like to copy the built binary back to the project folder. I have 
several PCs that I work from during different time of the day. Each of 
them can have different shadow build setup. Using absolute path will not 
work across them.

So the least I will need are the path to the built binary and the path 
to the project folder.

I can construct the built binary path by using hard-coded name in the 
command arg field. But I will have to remember going back to change it 
if I ever rename the project output. Hard-coding the project will not 
work since the project file may reside in different locations between setup.

And you can never have too many predefined macros/variables anyway. :)

Maybe using environment variables for these? Setting them up before 
calling the custom step?
