what does the full url mean?
the baseurl could be relative - think about if someone is proxying or
tunnelling it. What about file:// urls.
the reason header.info contains the relative path is b/c that's the only
location we can count on being around - a path directly adjacent to the
headers dir.

I'm not sure that's _less_ of a hack than a symlink.
At the moment I'm not sure of a clean way of making sure the headers are
nearby the pkgs and yet still allow for pointing to mirrors easily.

it's ONE link - how is that a link forest?
