[patch snipped]

That looks about right; although I believe it's not absolute *vs.*
relative; it's turning on either or both of absolute and relative
independently, and the alternative is paths descending only from
things in the library directory list.  I don't actually like having
too many things in that list, since name duplications could be, um,
too exciting.  

Forgive me for not knowing the "power structure" around here -- is
that patch or something like it likely to get into the development
tree, or will any patch I apply for this be my own problem for all
future versions?
