I don't know whether other nodes send any path information. LimeWire sends some
XML sometimes but not always. This does not contain path information though.
However I think it only works for some audio formats like MP3 for which they
can extract the embedded meta information.  There is a GGEP PATH extension
which we don't support but I suspect it's not widely used. At least I haven't
noticed it in a raw packet dumps and BearShare intended to this only if the
path was actually matched by the corresponding query. This is probably just a
traffic optimization.

I have thought about this recently too. So I'd like to sent the relative
paths unconditionally in search results including browse host replies. It will
have to be enabled on a per shared-path-basis. So if you share

/spam

which has the sub-directories

/spam/annoying/
/spam/really_annoying/

You would see the "annoying" and "really_annoying" in results but not "/spam".
I'd say I add a checkbox to the list of shared files, so that you can disable
it for some paths.
