Also, if you need to include directories that aren't in the Delphi program
area, how about using the good old DOS Subst command so that a long path can
be accessed as a single drive letter.  e.g.

Subst N: "C:\Top Level\Then More Level\And A\Long Subtree"

then you can use N:\File.pas rather than "C:\Top...\File.pas".

You can add the Subst at the top of the build batch file, or in its own
batch file within the Startup folder if you want it to be more widely
available.
