yes, you are right, it's not always relative.
It depends on the way you call configure.  If you call

        ../pkg-1.2.3/configure

you get a relative path, at least on my host (bash on GNU/Linux), while by

        /home/me/tests/pkg-1.2.3/configure

you end up with an absolute path.

Perhaps ths documentation should say that the path ``may be relative''.
