Description Marc-André Laperle

The Compilation Database language settings provider contains a path to the CDB file but it does not allow using variables. This would be useful in order to set project relative paths, for example. Then this setting could be committed and shared more easily.

There is still the "modified time" timestamp in the .xml that makes it not perfectly sharable but it's a step in the right direction.
