Hi Martijn,

You may have noticed that I liked your option to specify a "base"  
prefix path for the shapefile and raster datasources, and so I've  
added that same logic to the GDAL,OGR, and SQLite plugins 
(http://trac.mapnik.org/changeset/1042 
)

In the process of adding that I noticed that we don't have any  
documentation on the Wiki about using these features added in:
http://trac.mapnik.org/changeset/574

Do you think you could create a few pages describing their usage?

Also, I'm currently pondering this issue: Allowing any relative paths  
in the XML file to be relative to the filesystem location of the XML  
file itself. I think this would be yet another really valuable option  
for flexibly holding the right paths to datasources and symbols in xml.

I've stubbed a ticket for it here: http://trac.mapnik.org/ticket/147
I'm interested in ideas for the right approach to implement something  
like this.

Dane
