Relative path support for SOPC builder and QIP files

Well I actually don't have that problem. I'll explain why. First two things to note:

1 - Altera Megafunctions will ask you after generation if you want to add the QIP file to your project. At this time there is a check box that you can select so that it does it automatically from that point on. I have never checked this box so I don't know how you undo this action if you have done it.

2 - SoPC Builder does not follow what I've stated above. By default it automatically adds its QIP file to the project.

Now why don't I have this problem. Many years ago I got tired of Quartus dumping all of its files into my project directory. So all of my projects have a folder hierachy (Quartus files in one place, source files in another, simulation .... you get the point). As such, my SoPC system(s) do not reside in the Quartus project folder and I do not launch them using the SoPC builder button inside Quartus. I launch them from the megawizard plug-in manager. Now, because I launch SoPC builder this way it is unable to determine the Quartus project that it is associated with. Thus during generation when it gets to this little step of adding the QIP file to the project, it gives a harmless error. And thus we successfully circumvent the problem. Then if you so choose, you can add the QIP manually.
