Gustav,

In my version I have it like that (relatively) I think it's better for
several reasons. I should have asked for approval and commit it I guess but
I was waiting for comments. Let's leave it for now as I have made other
changes like that to have less absolute paths in general and I 'll commit
them later (in another release)... after all this only improves the ease of
updating if you want to change your server settings etc. New users will not
have a problem with that and old users will probably not change settings yet
as there are other problems with the  question copying process (see my next
email)
