I guess there are two options here. Either we go with a relative path 
or a "realpath" command. PHP has a command like that but I'm not sure
it'll do the trick.

The code is really not consistent on this. Some parts use relative paths
and others use the full path.
I've mostly used full paths and prefer that, since it gives me a warm
fuzzy feeling of being in control. 

But if it posses to many problems we should go with the relative paths.
