Beside Tom's authority, I believe the rationale is that paths in configs
should be relative to the tree root and should only designate locations
_within_ that tree root.  Hence, it is a good thing for a path starting
with `..' to be rejected.  Same for an absolute path.

Now, it seems that `is_non_upwards_relative_path ()' would also reject
paths like `chbouib/../foo' which theoretically it should accept.  But
well, arguably, that shouldn't be too much of a problem.  ;-)

Thanks,
Ludovic.
