The solution is still to make the use independent of the drive
location or make sure everything can see it in the same path. We put
some common things (boost versions, etc.) on a network share and
reference it as \\server\path from windows build servers - generally
setting an environment variable in Jenkins pointing to the location
and expanding that in the project reference so you could use a local
copy if you wanted to set up something different on some nodes or set
the variable locally if you run the same build outside of Jenkins.

Also subversion has a special case that we use for our internally
built and versioned libraries. You can use an 'external' property to
within a tree to pull in items from a different repository or location
into your checkout tree so you can use relative paths. Not sure how
to match that with a different VCS. Maybe just expanding the path to
an absolute location in an environment variable can do what you need.
