basho/rebar — Issue #197: Make errors contain full paths relative to current directory

Currently rebar does report errors from sub-projects with paths relative to sub-project's rebar.config file. This behaviour un-helpful in any automatic mechanism of highlighting errors in editor (Emacs' flymake) or automatic jumping to erroneous lines (Emacs compilation mode and `C-x ``.

Solution would need setting "return" option for compiler:file and showing error messages via rebar's code.

P.S. Someone started a plugin which solves this problem, but it has never been finished:
