Currently in the <project> node of the config you can specify a
workingDirectory and an artifactDirectory. You can provide a full path
or a relative path. If relative it is relative to the folder where the
server was started from. Also, several other settings in the other
config blocks can have paths relative to these folders.

However, what I want to do is know if there is a way to specify the
default parent for these folders. So, rather than having to enter the
same full path in many projects I can just define it once. I ask
because usually I just accept the default relative paths for most of
my config blocks. I don't seem to see a way to do this.

Yes, I know that I can use an XML entity or a pre-processor define to
make this a bit easier.

What would be nice is if at the cruisecontrol config level you can add
a "workingDirectory" and/or "artifactDirectory" which would then be
used as the root for all relative paths rather than the EXE folder.

Anyone have any comment on this? Or why it is a stupid idea or what I
am missing?
