"use" element works unreliably (on windows)

[Lode Leroy]

I try to embed an existing svg inside a manually written svg (the image.svg is next to this file, and writting by inkscape):

      <use xlink:href="image.svg#svg8" opacity="0.50"/>

On linux this works well.

On windows, this only works when I launch inkscape from the same directory as the main document, otherwise I get:

** (inkscape.exe:18476): WARNING **: Can't get document for referenced URI: image.svg#svg8

it seems like inkscape uses the url specified as-is.

I think it should prepend the url of the current file, to allow for relative url's in case the file is not found.
