I concur that a relative link to a user's local html installation would
be preferable. Maybe we could add an install-hook rule that looks for
the referenced page in a sibling directory, and pokes that value in
using sed?
Your patch is already a step forward though, so feel free to commit
as is if you haven't the time to work on an install-hook.
Cheers,
Gary.
