Title: allow paths to begin with ../ so that relative paths can be used.

I encountered this with the Downloads module. If I set the upload path to be above the document root by using a path like '../myspecial_upload_dir' then the FormatForOS() method would eliminate the '../' part. This made using the desired directory impossible. These changes allow for that possibility. Since I do not fully understand the ramifications of these changes, I cannot be sure that I have done this correctly. I've tried to document my intentions, but I would appreciate your thoughts on the matter.
