Title: Fix for bz6389 - Absolute paths to project files cause error: 'MSBUILD00...

This is to address bug [bz6389] [1].

Issue originates from a [previous commit (54a6896)] [2] with a subsequent [failed attempt at fixing it in commit (667eb08)] [3].

Unfortunately I don't see how the original intent is workable given the current command-line structure (use of slashes '/') and can see little benefit of it remaining. Worth noting that automated build tools (such as [FAKE - F# Make] [4]) currently fail due to this issue.

This pull-request effectively backs out the original change.
