Isn't it easier and cleaner to require to put the cnxml file in the same directory where your app resides. This way we could drop the whole pathing mess which was only introduced because such a clean and easy requirement wasn't proposed beforehand. I vote for dropping all pathing issues by requireing to put the cnxml file in the same directory as the main app file. If people want to do it different, they are free to do it on their own.
