Yes.  The argument to --skeleton-path would be a list of directory
names separated by ":", like PATH.

Sorry, I don't follow the "versus".

The --skeleton-path argument would affect not the interpretation of
absolute file names, so both forms would work under my proposal --
it's up to the user.  Similarly for the other example you gave.
This is similar to cc -I.
