I think I wasn't clear.  The problem isn't the command itself (I'm
actually using ack, which is more or less the same as find-grep), it's
the fact that I don't want to specify the full path every time.  It's
pretty exhausting.  And I don't think an ENV variable would work
because I have multiple "projects" - I'd like to set a buffer-local
value so it just "knows" to start at the base of the project's src/
rather than the current folder (kind of pointless in a large project).
