Historically we have intentionally isolated DumpRenderTree from knowing anything about filesystem layout.

It would be possible to do this, but we'd need to pass some additional information to DumpRenderTree on the command line.  I'm not sure that's a good idea, given the historical precedent of avoiding telling DRT about the filesystem.

The approach in bug 67254 is interesting (avoids passing this information to DRT), but also wrong, because it encodes information about WebKit build layout in the DRT executable.

I think the best approach would be to make it possible to generate these file urls from paths relative to the test files themselves.  I'm not sure why the test files don't just use relative paths as-is.
