For completeness, I looked at this and it doesn't look like that is how it 
works. My understanding (and keep in mind that this is the first time I am 
looking at this code so I might be misunderstanding something here) is that the 
remote platform support works by building the test on the host in-tree and then 
_RemoteProcess.launch() ships over only the binary when called from 
Base.spawnSubprocess().

That's not a big deal, though. I will introduce the concept of a build 
directory (which has to be separate from the remote platform working directory) 
and find a way to pass the source directory to runBuildCommands().
