I'd instead assume that if I'm looking at the page

	http://some.site/wiki/Group/Page

then [[./something.jpg]] should refer to 

	http://path.to/wiki/Group/something.jpg

This is of course most likely bogus, as there will probably be no such 
directory... Anyway, just wanted to explain how I'd interpret 
	[[./something]]

I think it'd be better coming up with good prefix names... so if we're
using e.g. http://site.org/wiki/Group/Page, where pmwiki.php is located at
http://site.org/wiki/pmwiki.php, we might like something like this:

* wiki:	The directory that pmwiki.php resides in, i.e.
	'/wiki/' or 'http://site.org/wiki/'
* root:	The root of the web server, i.e.  '/' or 'http://site.org/'.
* host:	Abslute URI of web server, i.e. 'http://site.org'
* field: The directory of the current field
