Maya Module Description File: Relative Paths

Can paths within maya module description files be specified relative to system or maya’s own env variables?
For example: + MyModule 1.0 $MYPATH/Modules/MyModule

Module directories can be made relative in maya.env using $<var> syntax so it would be rather limiting to require absolute paths in the module description.

Thx,
Sin.

PS. There was some confusion about the terminology so I’ll clarify - by ‘module’ I’m referring to maya’s multi-file distribution package NOT the python modules.
