I now have a better idea of what you're trying to do, and why you want
this to be relative.
However, it seems to me that a slightly different relative construct
might be better. Instead of relative to "this file". it could be
relative to "this package's top directory". To identify a directory
as counting in this way, you'd put a certain file name in it. Emacs
would find the containing directory which has that name. Then you
could specify a file name relative to that directory.
What do you think of that?
