It's a combination of Eclipse/Xdebug and the links. PHP and Xdebug only
deal with absolute resolved paths. Eclipse does not resolve the path to
it's full location when setting breakpoints, and thus Xdebug doesn't
recognise them when breakpoints are being set. I think it's the same
issue as in http://bugs.xdebug.org/view.php?id=432 (which is for Linux).
