Ok,

I can see that usecase.

But your patch will lead to having the writable location inside that application
installation dir, or I am wrong? If I misread that I stand corrected. Otherwise it
would make more sense for me to allow some "suffix" to the writable location to be specified
to avoid clashs instead of full paths.
