Proposed template patch

The method : public static IPath getRelPath(IPath cwd, IPath location) of class BuildDescriptionManager make a wrong assumption that it is impossible to compute a relative path between 2 paths (one being a target path) if they do not share a common path prefix. It is in fact always possible to compute a relative path between 2 paths if they share the same path device.

Including is a patch to solve the issue.
