Problem with paths when no basedir is set in the build file

           Summary: Problem with paths when no basedir is set in the build

When You execute a ant script on a diffrent drive than the build script is 
located it seems like ant have a problem with changing to the correct drive. 
This error occur when the basedir is not set and the paths in the build script 
is coded relative to the drive.

Eg.
d:\build.xml
Ant is installed on c: and executed from c:
Execute ant -buildfile d:\build.xml
This give all paths relative to c: instead of d: if the basedir is not set to 
d:\ in the script.
