Running build.ninja using the -f flag in ninja from any other directory other than the directory it was originally configured in fails as it can't find the referenced includes. For example:

C:\Users\Charlotte>ninja -f l:\SM-TFCWXBaseAttributes\build.ninja
[1/2] Compiling "L:\tf2server\steamapps\common\Team Fortre...Server\tf\addons\sourcemod\plugins\viewmodel_override.smx"

Compilation aborted.
1 Error.

This fixes that, but it might be worth hiding this behind another command line argument, like --portable, as it does make resulting build files look ugly.
