Relative urls limit flexibility too much, I think.  Instead, I'll just
make the base url configurable - this would default to /seaside/myapp, but
could be changed to http://www.mydomain.com/myapp/ or whatever else you
wanted, in a proxy situation.  All generated links will start with this
base url.

Actually the recent 2.1 releases go most of the way towards this, but it
won't quite work for proxies yet, I don't think.
