 For SVG pattern fills, currently, the paths are stored relatively to the
 project file and not relatively to the symbol/pattern repository.

 This makes it harder to move projects to a server or different machine
 that may have a different file/path layout.

 It would be good if it could be implemented the same way like SVG symbols:

 Current relative behavior with symbols:

 <pointsymbol>svg:/abwasser/Oelabscheider_Mischwasser.svg</pointsymbol>


 Current relative behavior with patterns:

 <layer pass="0" class="SVGFill" locked="0" >
   <prop k="svgFile"
 v="../../qgis/patterns/use_zone_plan/wohnzone_mit_gewerbeerleichterung_1_satz_w2_40_wohnzone_2_geschossig.svg"
 />
   <prop k="width" v="20" />
 </layer>

 I think the "relative" paths should be stored absolutely, but starting
 from the pattern/symbol repository, with the svg:/ syntax.
