It would be handy to add a flag to save_map() to allow for the serialization of all datasource and symbol file paths to be relative to the location the xml is saved to. The Current behavior is to serialize all paths as absolute.

Eventually adding this to the Python pickling support would be excellent as well, where paths could be made relative to the location the pickled object is written to or even relative to the script process doing the pickling.
