[pLog-svn] Path to Resources

[Jon Daley]

somewhere, and it is a filepath, since we never needed a web-accessible 
URL before?
 	I like C the best.  I don't understand the subdirectory 
consideration for option A.

If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one
that will cause the most damage will be the one to go wrong.
