How do you actually calculate site-packages?  Would you store the directory
name somewhere?  Would you import the module and look at
os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(module.__file__))?  Or just scan to see
where the module would be?

If you store the directory name somewhere then you have another absolute
path.  This is why, for simplicity, I thought it should be relative to the
directory where the record file is (lots of extraneous ../, but the most
obvious meaning of a relative filename).
