 This is useful if your links directory and recordings directory are both
 in a directory tree exported by an NFS server. Links to absolute file
 names will be broken in the NFS clients, but links to relative file names
 will be ok.

 E.g., if /home is exported on an NFS server with the following dirs:

 {{{/home/nick/links}}}\\
 {{{/home/mythtv/recordings}}}

 ...and the exported /home is mounted by an NFS client at /mnt/mythtv, then

 {{{/mnt/mythtv/nick/links/Title.mpg ->
 /home/mythtv/recordings/1004_20111224115800.mpg}}} is broken\\
 {{{/mnt/mythtv/nick/links/Title.mpg ->
 ../../mythtv/recordings/1004_20111224115800.mpg}}} is ok

 The attached patch adds a {{{--relative}}} option to allow relative file
 names to be used in the links created by {{{mythlink.pl}}}.
