Tikal: would be nice to be able to set the root folder for operations

Original [issue 252](https://code.google.com/p/okapi/issues/detail?id=252) created by mihn... on 2012-07-11T22:52:39.000Z:

Steps will reproduce the problem: From command line, use tikal to extract some deep folder files to xliff: tikal -x ModuleFoo/2012\_07\_11/sources/\*.properties -od ModuleFoo/2012\_07\_11/newxlf

The resulting xliff contains <file original="ModuleFoo/2012\_07\_11/sources/foo.properties" ... >

It would be nice to get <file original="foo.properties" ... > or <file original="sources/foo.properties" ... >

Would be nice to avoid the the date of the round trip there, for instance. And in general to be able to make the output more independent of my current folder.

It is in the same bucket with the addition of -sd sourceDirectory -od outputDirectory (more "folder independence")

Running m17, on Win 7.

If you find it a useful enhancement, a fix is attached.

Thank you, Mihai
