Relative paths in config files

I have a question about the file paths used in the SilkTest config files.

For the project I'm working on I need to commit the config file of a SilkTest project to our central code repository. For this reason, the file paths cannot be absolute, since I cannot assume that other developers have placed their checkout in the same directory as I have.

Hence, I need to use relative paths.

The only solution I have found to this is the following:

The problem with this solution is that these are not properly relative paths. They can more accurately be described as an absolute path (given by an environment variable) concatenated with a relative path, which effectively is the same as an absolute path. To put it another way, the above solution only allows you to specify paths relative to an absolute position in the file system, and since this absolute position can change based on the specific issue a developer happens to be working on at the moment, this solution is insufficient.

What I need is to be able to specify a path relative to the location of the config file. Is there a way to do that?
