As a matter of fact, I did run into another problem.
I just wanted to try and recreate it again on another machine and cloned 
the repository again. With the current version options are ignored (e.g. 
metric) and, to make it short, nothing is working any more.

With the "old version" (just before I applied the .ngc.ngc path) 
everything worked fine, as mentioned but then I found a strange bug. I 
wanted to have two different sets of G code files. One with normal 
traces and one with voronoi paths. I thus ran the program once with 
--basename voronoi, which worked fine, and once with --basename normal, 
which caused the program to crash. The funny thing is that it only 
crashes if the option's value is normal (case insensitive). norma, 
normall and the like work fine. I traced it down to line 84 of drill.cpp 
(program option's parse function) but haven't had a closer look at it 
yet. Might not be your fault :)
Besides, since --basename only applies to the G code files and not to 
the .PNGs, it would be nice to have an option like --basedir, to move 
the entire output (.NGCs and .PNGs) to another directory.
