authz-db and passwd-db paths

I read the docs and googled some interesting threads regarding the format of the path values for authz-db and passwd-db. Currently, it appears that only relative paths are acceptable.

I am running svnserve as a service on Windows Server 2K3. I have a repo root of D:\SVN, with several repository structures beneath it. I set up common authz and passwd files for most of the repos. To get it working, I had to set up svnserve.conf in the "conf" folder of each repo, as follows:
...
authz-db = ../../authz
passwd-db = ../../passwd
...

Rather than an absolute path of "authz-db = D:/SVN/authz".

So, I have two questions. First, are there any plans to allow absolute paths in svnserve.conf (regardless of platform)? Second, is there any method currently (particularly using Windows & svnserve) to create a unified svnserve.conf file for several repos, ala, D:/SVN/svnserve.conf?

TIA,
Laker
