What this whole thing boils down to is relative vs. absolute
links.
As with websites, internal links should always be relative,
and external links (obviously) need to be absolute.
When I moved metamorphosis from delphi.com to twovoyagers.com,
I simply zipped up the directory on my hard drive, uploaded the
file to twovoyagers.com, and then unzipped it there. Voila!
All links work.
This is the same with software packages. Make all links
relative, and it doesn't matter what top level directory they
reside in. They all work relative to each other.
