No, this would make the file system on my server an even worse
spaghetti mess than when I move the files physically under one root.
I want to leave everything as distributed as possible.<br>

am combining 20 years of working with old maps in three

help to keep my applications (and my mind) clear if I
could use the appropriate shapepaths. And as to
portability, it is essential to use relative paths. Just
try to move a website to a new server with a differently
named filesystem, if all paths are hard coded.</div>
