It's sort of a tradeoff.  The way I see it, one doesn't spend all
that much time editing the config/register.php file, so once it's
set, it just sits there and works.  Otherwise, we need to make
sure relative paths and stuff work, or provide some sort of
programmatic mechanism to propagate a single webroot to all of
the entries.

If you want, because the file is a PHP script, you can just
create a variable at the top of the file named $webroot and
all of the entries in terms of that variable or something.

Or you could just search and replace the entries in a text
editor.

Having the explicit paths in there also helps alleviate the
confusion between virtual web paths and physical file system
paths.
