There is also what they call a 'junction' in Windows; it's basically their
version of a symlink.  If the OP is using a Windows machine then he may wish
to continue with his code in the original directory and possibly create a
junction to it with a shorter name, and do the compilations, etc. from there
as was suggested in relation to Linux a few messages ago.

The downside is that you need a program from MS to create junctions (it's part
of the Win32 API but a program to utilise it is not included by default IIRC),
and I forget what it's called; it's part of the server tools package I think.
Just do a google and it'll pop up.
