There's a number of issues related to this, also having to do with
relative versus absolute links.  They're described in:

    http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PITS/00526
    http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PITS/00527
    http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PITS/00595
    http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PITS/00619

and we should also probably consider

    http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PITS/00764

It might be nice to really resolve this one, since it would close
at least five PITS entries.  :-)
