[Ashish] Larry if I'm not wrong, are you suggesting to use something 
like,
cd Q:/ instead of cd .. wherever I feel to go back to q:?

Basically I am using such set of statements recursively in my makefile, 
not exactly the same as I mentioned in my problem but 
more or less of the similar fashion. So there I can't hard code the 
path. 

Suggestions?
Thanks,
Ashish
