Description Teodor Madan CLA 2011-05-09 10:54:07 EDT 
Executable view creates a container CDT project "Executables", when importing an external binary in the view. While doing so, StandardExecutableImporter will replicate absolute path to binary as subfolders in "Executable" project. The folder structure is replicated to act as a namespace to ensure uniqueness of the binary file.  

Instead of using a path from physical local folders, standard executable importer should instead create a chain of virtual folders and mark them as derived. 
- Creating virtual folders is a lot more lighter operation. 
- Marking as derived will ensure that a good chunk of resource listeners will disregard the event for derived resources.
