The tooling doesn't seem to handle relative paths very well.

If I have the directory /foo/bar and a build directory /foo/bar/build, and 
the compile_commands.json contains entries like "../blub.cpp", the tooling 
seems to not find the entry for blub.cpp.

I fixed that for the Ninja generator in CMake here:

http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=e30d46e20ee71d57e09f83fafa39b7e464efe110

but I think this might be a bug in clang (recall I brought up relative paths 
troubles yesterday too :)).

Thanks,

Steve.
