Add circular dependencies script
ClosedPublic

Summary
This script finds dependencies between source code modules, treating the
.cpp and .h file as one unit (so it will detect A.cpp depending on B.h
where B.cpp depends on A.h). This can be used to find out which modules
cannot be used independently from each other.

It is very simplistic at this point, and assumes that a .cpp file's
corresponding header has the exact same name, with .cpp replaced by .h.
Furthermore, it assumes all #includes are relative to the src/
directory.

I think the meaning here is <wherever your project root is>/src, as there is no reason to suppose the user is anywhere in the tree when reading the doc.
I'll change it to be more explicit.
