When is an absolute path generated? If you can give me a small sample of a distribution that installs a file in an absolute path, I'll do some testing on Windows. But the immediate answer is that there are *no* reliable "absolute" paths on Windows, so you're not looking at the likes of /usr/doc, but rather paths that are relative to sys.prefix, but not to the package directory. In that case, the key point is that if the installer is built on a system where Python is installed in a different directory than the system where the installer is run, paths need to be relocated. (E.g., C:\Python27 vs D:\Apps\Python27).
