Re: path to support files

This never worked (yet). The build system does fix up relative paths for reference files, but not support files. The way to handle this is to create a support directory in the same directory as the test and copy the necessary support file(s) there, then you use the relative path "support/green.ico".

Both Shepherd and the build system will recognize the duplicate support files and have only one copy in the build output.
