 I think it would be quite useful to be able to specify paths relative to
 the default-directory of the buffer. What do you think?

I tried to implement exactly that by wrapping `dir' with
`expand-file-name'. So far, it works very well. Here is the patch:

[O] [babel] Relative path for dir header argument

[Hans-Peter Deifel]

Hi all,

Currently, the 'dir'-argument only understands absolute paths, because
it simply sets default-directory.

I think it would be quite useful to be able to specify paths relative to
the default-directory of the buffer. What do you think?

Thanks in advance,
Hans-Peter
