Ok,
I can see that usecase. But your patch will lead to having the writable location inside that application installation dir, or I am wrong? If I misread that I stand corrected. Otherwise it would make more sense for me to allow some "suffix" to the writable location to be specified to avoid clashs instead of full paths.
