Well - with the current <import> semantic, at least one use case will be
forced to use the same style.
My experience so far is that using not one, but multiple path
prefixes is very good - ${libdir}, ${classes}, ${docs}, etc.
The relative paths are very convenient and nice for quick builds
and to locate files in the source tree - but I for target files
I thing it's far better to use prefixes.
