Enhancement : relative settings and database, Jbrout on an USB drive !

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The goal is to install JBrout on a big USB Drive (like hdd), compatible
with all supported OS (linux *, Windows ...).

When JBrout is run from this drive, the environment is the same on all
computer (I have many computers and I use sometime one, sometime an other,
with or without network, my wife too and also computers of friends !).

With this feature, it's possible to put all your photo into a single drive
and managed/display them where you want.

Imagine a hierarchy file like that :
/.path.where.is.mounted.my.drive./.path.on.drive./JBrout/
./run.exe
./run.sh
./bin/jbrout.py
./data/.all.my.pictures
./conf/jbrout.conf
./conf/db.xml (with relatives path !)

I try with 'HOME=/.path.to.drive/ python2.5 jbrout.py', it's ok for conf
directory, but path in conf/db.xml are absolute.

I didn't use any photo manager because I need a relative database !

Another option can be :
- jbrout installed on computers (installer files can be stored on usb drive, if 
needed)
- create a nameyouwant.jdb, a file with jbrout.conf content, tags.xml content 
and db.xml 
content, with paths relatives to this file if deeper
- optionaly, the user can associate *.jdb to JBrout
