It requires a project file and Delphi is somewhat shaky with relative paths
which makes configuring it hard. One has the choice between abs paths, the
subset trick, or doubtful relative paths.

(Delphi evaluates relative paths relative to the current directory, which
can be random unless you load it via file->open project)
