 BIND 9 has this nice feature to be able to reference every path relative
 to an "home directory". The home directory is set in "named.conf" in the
 options block:

 {{{
 options {
   directory "/var/named";
 };
 }}}

 This feature really helps to keep a configuration system-independent, so
 that it can be moved from one system to another (even to a different
 platform with a different file system layout).

 All BIND 10 configuration seems to be absolute when it comes to path- and
 file-names.

 It would be good to have a similar way in BIND 10 to specify a "home
 directory" and to specify all path- and file-names relative to that home
 directory.
