I don't like absolute paths since they make results uncomparable.  Move a  
test to a different directory, and the log files look different.

Worse: a user reports consistent failure to build/test, and it takes you  
hours to find out that his absolute directory names contain characters that  
are not healthy.

When the normal processes and tests use just relative file names, all of  
the file names are under the control of the project and the results are  
reproducible.

So going absolute is not something that should be done lightly.
