  [ocaml] try to work around ocamlbuild build-dir fuckups

Oh, this is so great...
Due to a bug in older ocamlbuild versions the build-dir can NOT be absolute 
(WTF???)
see http://caml.inria.fr/mantis/view.php?id=5503

But don't you think for a second that "simply" making sure the build-dir 
argument is always relative will just work:
Seems that the build-dir path can't contain '..' either!! HA! GOTCHA!

So some GNU make dark magic to the rescue to provide a sensible default for 
PAPARAZZI_HOME (with absolute path),
regardless from which working directory the makefile is called...

Puh! Let's just hope that now finally works in all cases... wasted enough hours 
of my life on this..
