according to the PEP files mentioned in RECORD are relative paths,
which follows
the assumption that everything is contained in the .egg directory. A new PEP
should not assume this, but support the installation into a FHS layout as well
(e.g. as done by (Linux) distributions).
Actually, the assumption is that everything is relative to
site-packages in a flat install. Scripts and data should be able to
use absolute paths, however.
The main purpose of the recommendation is that anything installed
relative to the target directory (typically site-packages) should use
a relative path, so that simple installations are relocatable and
have cross-platform-compatible path information, for use cases where
a single installation of code is shared between e.g. Windows, OS X, and Linux.
