 relative. So we should just make sure that the Tor built for the OS X TBB
 has a sharedir arg set during ./configure to point to the directory that
 we put the geoip file. Done.

 I suspect this is a Tor bug (well, lack of feature) that should get its
 own trac entry. I don't see any reason why our autoconf scripts should
 demand an absolute path here. (If there is a reason, it would be good to
 make it explicitly known to us.)
