If you use paths in your module you are expected to handle them 
much like the nginx itself, depending on context:

- either relative to prefix, like load_module does;
- or relative to conf prefix, like include does;
- or relative to document root, like serving static files.

First two variants are usually handled at configuration parsing 
time using the ngx_conf_full_name() function.  Last one is usually 
done with the ngx_http_map_uri_to_path() function.
