This sounds more like a PATH, in the UNIX use of the word. And while
this kind of thing works fine when looking for a single executable, it
gets a little more fuzzy when you try to apply it to media files
because it's a lot more likely that you're going to have multiple
files around with the same names. Something like the BASE HTML tag
seems like a better idea to me because it doesn't have this ambiguity
problem.
