I dont think thats what he needs. - making a path unrelative with 
Blender.sys.expandpath() would work but they want blender to have the 
data linked to a relative path. so I assume people can load it on there 
own workstation and have the blend referenced relatively.
basically blender needs to accept and store relative paths from Python.
