I agree completely for paths that are set by the end-user -- but
most of my paths are set to well-known bin-relative directories
and pak-files from within the app itself, where it's a bit silly
to write specific sets of PHYSFS_addToSearchPath() strings for this
set-up formatted for each supported platform's path foibles -- hence
the physfs_util_binrelative_add_to_searchpath business.
Since it IS implementable outside of PhysicsFS and the need for
the existing PHYSFS_addToSearchPath() would remain for user-sourced
paths, there's no particular reason to change how PhysicsFS works
for this -- but people might find physfs_util_binrelative_add_to_searchpath()
useful as a 'contrib'... dunno.
