Yes, Carbon has file aliases which I can store -- I'm switching most  
parts of the app to use aliases for 1.2, though I also plan to make  
the project file redundant (so a project is just a folder).

And yes, currently files are saved in the project file as relative  
paths, since I always intended for the structure that Chris outlined  
-- it is possible to change on an item-by-item basis, but it's  
probably easier just to recreate the project.
