Hello Christiaan,
Actually I would really prefer a system where the file links are relative.
Thus far I don't use the auto-file because of this. Between me and my wife
we have papers on machines at home and work (all with different account
names unfortunately) and like to keep the our respective bib files in sync,
as we primarily use Bibtex to keep track of papers we've read and use for
research.
