[Scons-users] How can I manipulate $SOURCE and $TARGET

[Russell, J.J.]

Using one of LINKCOMSTR or its variants to control the output of a build, I would like to strip some of the leading directories from the $SOURCE and $TARGET strings.  For example, if  $TARGET is

       /a/really/long/directory/path/to/package/file.exe

I would like to print just 

     package/file.exe

 and ignore the boilerplate root directories as just adding noise to the output.   

I am a novice at this, so hopefully I just missed the obvious.
