 I'm not quite following what the above commit does. I'll need to look more
 closely.

 In general though, don't we need a user option like Martin wrote about in
 the above thread? Projects should either be in absolute path storage mode
 (if users want the ability to move project files around freely) or in
 relative path mode (if users want to move project files along with their
 file datasources in the same folder bundle).
