`makefile.preConfigureScript` start folder

[schperplata]

Hello,
I've a problem telling makefile extension where to find preConfigureScript. More precisely, I've figure out experimentally, that it is relative to the file in which makefile.preConfigureScript setting is specified, for example:

• If defined in .vscode/settings.json:, .vscode folder is used as a root folder for relative paths.
• If defined in X.code-workspace settings group: ,code-workspace folder is used as a root folder for relative paths.
• Standard ${workspaceFolder} is not supported in settings.json.

As this is always a struggle (where VSCode is putting workspace settings - sometimes in .vscode/settings.json, sometimes in .code-workspace), can the extension docs be a bit more precise about how the extension resolve the path?

@schperplata, thank you for pointing this out. We already have a GitHub work item for variables expansion. We may not be able to address this for the upcoming 0.4 release but maybe in the next. We can also review and test a PR from the community if anyone is willing to implement this support.

I leave this work item open to address the documentation updates, with more clear expectations about paths defined in settings.
