[Therion] MetaPost include relative path

[Martin Budaj]

Hi,

there is no direct support yet (therion makes a copy of the data to a
temporary directory when processing it, which breaks relative paths).

However, you can add your {doc root}\code to MetaPost search path
(either by setting MPINPUTS environment variable or by modifying
MPINPUTS value in the global texmf.cnf configuration file) and use the
paths relative to {doc root}\code.

When setting MPINPUTS value, don't delete the original search path,
just append your {doc root}\code at the end.
