The -out option currently takes a path that is relative to @/home@, i.e., it's an FS2 path. It is not possible to direct output to any native file.
However, the convention about paths passed via the command line is that they are relative to the current working directory. We
-out should standardize the interpretation of all applicable also accept native absolute paths passed via (however, the automatic command line according to this convention.
@de::CommandLine@ should path absolute conversion cannot be updated with applied, as it would mess up the normal @/home@ usage). Alternatively, a convenience mechanism to provide FS2 files mapped to provided locations. new option like "-fout" could be added that take a native path as argumnet.
FS2 should provide a convenience mechanism for creating a file that points to a custom location in the native file system. This custom file would not belong to any feed, or it could belong to some special "preset locations" feed.
