Not sure what scenario you have in mind here. :-/ std::string::find should only 
return 0 if the source directory path or binary directory path is what the 
evaluated path begins with. Why should we worry what the path continues with?

I was wondering about possibly using strncmp, but thought that performance-wise 
std::string::find should be fine as well here.

I'm not at all against changing the code, I just don't understand yet what 
setup the current code would not handle correctly.

Will do. Was just not sure where to add this documentation.

Cheers,
