They are relative to the CVSROOT.  On the web, the CVSROOT is:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/pure-data/

But I am sure you know enough to contribute to a FAQ, at the vary  
least editing existing questions, or even better, summarizing threads  
from this list.  Since all Pd code is free, I think we can all safely  
assume that all of the words on this list are free. If need be, we  
should make it explicit.  As for me, anything I write on this list is  
public domain.  Its not plagiarism, its collaborative work.

That sounds like a great idea if you are willing to do it.  If you  
made a FAQ entry for each question that you resolved on this list,  
we'd all be a lot better off.  I have tried on and off to do that...
