The problem with that is that it's hackish and ad-hoc.  It will
sometimes do the right thing, but other times it' not what's expected
and users will find it odd.

An alternative is to pass absolute file names.  And I think it would
make sense in that case to let the user choose between relative names
and absolute names.
