Public bug reported:

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/main.cc:297 in main()"

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.
