Yes, it tracks the "entering directory" and "leaving directory" output and adds that to the "educated guess" to find the files.

If I build from c:\svn\sandbox\product\foo, the errors point correctly at the source, but not if I build from c:\svn\sandbox with the recursion. I'm hoping it's only because of the Cygwin-style path output...
