Looks fine to me too. IIRC I have commit access to the git repo, hence I might commit this eventually (ping me in two weeks about this if nobody else took care of this yet). However, before that happens I think we should wait for more replies, maybe others have opinions about this too, for example I am interested in Allison Lortie's opinions on this (added to CC), I know she has some interest in the basedir stuff, too. Allison, any chance you can comment?
