> example: you create a new project.
> pom.xml
>   a/pom.xml
>   b/pom.xml
> b depends on a and a + b are modules of the root
> you run m2 install in "a" (successful, as it finds ../pom.xml)
> you run m2 install in "b" (fails obscurely)
> the failure is because the parent for *a* is not found - a is retrieved from the repository, and so the parent project is not used
> we should either:
> - find a in ../a/pom.xml
> - use the root pom we already know about from the current project (Seems the best solution)
> - allow repository poms to search the current directory (likely to fail for most poms)
> - improve the error reporting and require m2 -N install in the root (would need to cover for when it exists but is different too)
