Description

The Forrest build system specifies that the brokenlinks.xml file will be generated in the project build directory. We used to call the CLI directly and specify its parameters. However, now we just tell it where to find the cli.xconf file. This config file has a hard-coded path for ../brokenlinks.xml so it just gets generated in forrest.home

If you have two or three different projects, then they will clash because they all write to the same brokenlinks file.

Symptom of a larger issue - how to call the CLI properly and how best to configure it.
