Maybe he meant that it doesn't work to put relative paths in e.g. 
localmap.txt? If I add something like this to my localmap.txt

	TestPrefix	Ooh/ThisIs/Cool/$1

the markup TestPrefix:test in Main.WikiSandbox will just generate this:

	http://www.somewhere.se/wiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Ooh/ThisIs/Cool/test

which means that the HREF will be relative to the group... not quite
obvious I'd say. Then again.. what should it be relative to? Well, I think
it should at least be possible to control that yourself, and I'd probably
prefer it to be relative to either 'http://www.somewhere.se' or
'http://www.somewhere.se/wiki'.
