Research direction

Start by tracing how the libretro DOSBox core loads its DOSBox configuration and resolves paths. Reproduce the issue with a config containing mount C C and imgmount D ../CD/Alone1VF.cue -t iso; done means relative paths resolve from the directory containing the config file.

Description

Hello,
I can not start any of my Dos game with Retroarch and I think I found the reason.
When I launch DOS game with Retroarch, none drives are mounted.
Does Libretro Dosbox core support relative path?
I'm using relative path in all of my Dosbox config.
For example:

mount C C
imgmount D ../CD/Alone1VF.cue -t iso

For this Retroarch have to consider the default location is where is located the Dosbox config file.
This work very well wth Dosbox, could it be supported by Libretro Dosbox core?
