However Pawel's proposal seems like a good think to me. It would greatly
facilitate content migrations. If we could have some "ENGAGE_ROOT_URL"
defined in the database, or wherever might be adequate, and make all the
URLs contained in the mediapackages relative to that root URL.

I don't know how difficult it would be, or the implications, but once
implemented it would certainly be a plus.
