Relative to the solr home sounds like the best option to me.  It's what
I would expect, since most of the rest of Solr uses directories relative
to other directories that may or may not be explicitly defined.  I
haven't researched in-depth, but I think that the solr home itself is
the only thing in Solr that defaults to something relative to the
current working directory ... and that seems like a very good policy to
keep.

Thanks,
Shawn
