Bug Description
The drizzled --help for --basedir says: "Path to installation directory. All paths are usually resolved relative to this." This does not seem to be true. If basedir=/foo and datadir=data is specified, Drizzle fails to start with an error like "Aborting:"Data directory foo/data does not exist". Abort was called from drizzled/
Perhaps all paths are no longer relative to --basedir and the --help just needs to be updated? Or, all paths are supposed to be relative to --basedir and this is a bug in the code.

Are you sure about that error message?
I would understand "data" or "/foo/data" but it seems "foo/data" is an entirely different kind of bug: basedir is there but relative instead of absolute.
