Specify absolute paths when building Widelands. Solves the linked bug.

I've verified Widelands starts again on Ubuntu 14.04 with a testbuild from https://code.launchpad.net/~hjd/+recipe/widelands-test with this change.

I suspected the absolute paths option might be the case when I saw the changes for r7212. However, I wonder what this really does because the paths supplied to cmake doesn't look absolute...


(If this fix ends up merged, I will merge it over to the packaging branch for 12.04 too)
