Ok so Configuration is static and here is the relevant code taken from the
FOP ant task:

   org.apache.fop.configuration.Configuration.put("baseDir",

task.getFofile().getParentFile().toURL().toExternalForm());

It should be set in the Serializer setup.
What do you think is better to put as a relative value?
The problem is that Configuration is static for now, so I can to set the
base dir to the Constants.DEFAULT_CONTEXT_DIR or to a configured param;
anyway only one per VM. :-(
I think that the best is a configuration param, so that in the future when
Configuration is not static anymore we don't break contracts; the fixed conf
basedir is used for all if present, if not each file is resolved with its
relative url.
Comments?
