k, then we introduce some kind of directory alias, called "group".
the groups are defined in config.xml of the installer (later maybe in sep=
erate=20
groups.xml).

if you define your file record without group but with baseinstalldir, you=
 have=20
the full "hard-coded" control of your target file with baseinstalldir. =20
alternatively you can define a default group for applications, where all=20
packages are below _one_ directory. (so just one group exists).

the target paths are composed like this: (depending on which attributes t=
he=20
developer specifies)

group + name
baseinstalldir + name
group + save-as
baseinstalldir + save-as
