Thanks Peter.
It would be nice if Pillar was more flexible in this regard. For
background, I am looking into Ecstatic to generate a static web site
from Pillar files hosted on GitHub Pages. This is constrained to
serve html files out of the base directory of the branch tagged
"gh-pages". So I want to generate html files into the root folder,
from pillar files in a subdirectory "_sitesrc".
I have got as far as getting interested in this line...
PrExportPhase>>writeAll:using:
... outputFile := (file relativeTo: self configuration
baseDirectory) withExtension: aWriter fileExtension.
