Quick update, i was able to confirm that the path doxia uses is relative to
the current working directory...i.e. the directory you call maven from. So
the above scenario doesn't appear possible currently. via [1], doxia uses
some kind of request base directory setting which is getting the cwd.
I also tried with a variety of different versions of maven site and the
skin i'm using.
I'm open to work arounds. ant to copy the /src/site files around perhaps?
