I was considering the possibility of having salt files provided relative to an sls module. For example:

```
webserver/
files/
init.sls
```

Inside init.sls, you could refer to the files using a relative path rooted in the webserver directory, rather than starting with the top directory. Things I'm not too sure about are a syntax for this since I would want it to be extremely clear when a path is relative vs. absolute. Also this might just be a bad idea in general. Thoughts?
