Relative paths should work fine, but they're relative to the standard
configuration location, etc/shibboleth.

I can't really change the relative path base, it would break existing
configurations. I suppose additional commands could be worked in to
override that. That all assumes that Apache even gives me the information
needed to establish a path. I don't know how to do that, so a pointer or
patch would need to be supplied by somebody.
