I don't think there's a switch in there currently to do relative paths.
Typically that's when I switch to search replace. Heat's not meant to do
all your work for you, just give a solid base and decrease the amount of
initial setup time.
As to documentation on the -gg switch, I found out about -gg from this
mailing list a few months ago, there are a few other switches that are
undocumented. I think someone said to basically go and read the source to
find them if you're interested. Or a search through the archives may turn
some information up.

Is there a switch to tell it to use Relative Paths for the Source
Attribute or is that search and replace time?
Btw, -gg isn't documented when you say heat /? Where is that documented?

Not sure about the Votive information, but if you pass -gg to heat as an
option it will generate guids for you instead of inserting the
"PUT-GUID-HERE" message.
