If you copy your source tree including your .deps file, it won't rebuild

Ber copied a source tree (including his .deps) and it didn't rebuild, which
he spent quite a while tracking down. Change the .deps paths to relative
paths would fix this -- but would that introduce other gotchas?

Also, if you run your build.py script outside of the directory, it'll fail
because one usually doesn't specify absolute paths on the gcc command line.
Consider switching to the build.py directory before a build. (It'll also
write out the .deps file into the current directory, not the build.py dir.)
