Comment (by springmeyer):

 Any core devs able to give a broad overview of where and how this patch
 might be implemented?

 I've yet to dive into qgis c++ code, but I may have an occasion to soon,
 and any head starts would be very welcome.

 Also, if/once relative paths are supported QGIS may have the same issue as
 Mapnik -  e.g. what are they relative too? Ideally the  paths will be
 interpreted relative to the XML project file (rather than the location of
 the QGIS process), and in Mapnik this took some extra effort:
