problem to move julia repo, because of .julia\v0.3\ZMQ\deps\deps.jl

[stonebig]

Hello,

I'm trying to build a movable Ijulia+ipython, and I fall on a ZMQ module "absolute path" problem.
In the file .julia\v0.3\ZMQ\deps\deps.jl, there is a line 12 generated with the full 'original' directory of ZMQ:
@checked_lib zmq "D:\\result_tests\\WinPython-32bit-3.4.2.5_build3\\settings\\.julia\\v0.3\\ZMQ\\deps\\usr\\lib\\libzmq.DLL"

==> is this absolute path really necessary ?

@Keno, should this be a bindeps issue?

I have some side effects, after fixing manually this

ok: side-effect was because I forgot to copy the hidden .git files.
The only issue to get a movable Julia/IJulia seems this non-"relative" path in .julia\v0.3\ZMQ\deps\deps.jl.
current state of file D:\WinPython\basedir34\buildFlavorJulia\winpython-3.4.2\settings\.julia\v0.3\ZMQ\deps:

`# Load dependencies
@checked_lib zmq "D:\\WinPython\\basedir34\\buildFlavorJulia\\winpython-3.4.2\\settings\\.julia\\v0.3\\ZMQ\\deps\\usr\\lib\\libzmq.DLL"

whish:

@checked_lib zmq ".\\usr\\lib\\libzmq.DLL"

What is curious is it is apparently the only Julia module (that I have) using an absolute path
==> shouldn't it be easy to fix ?

at least on writing, it looks possible to replace a "." per Base.source_path()\\
in https://github.com/JuliaLang/BinDeps.jl/blob/master/src/dependencies.jl around line 832
(I don't know where it is read after)
