+    + removed relative path from .hbc references from contrib area
+      except: hbqt related cases, which is more complicated
+      and hbmk.hbm files in test dirs (to avoid this extra point
+      of failure for now).
+    ; path-free reference to hbc files was pioneered by hbrun
+      and it works on all systems (except one or two, yet to
+      be determined why).
