My thinking was:

...
[project]
name=....
base_path=/kunden/....

^^^^^ base_path goes awy away completely. It's not needed - base_dir is
computed from the path holding the project file. For this example, let's
assume my project file is in /kunden/. (that's German for "customers").

[files]
FILE_NAME_0=26926;PHP;0;16;1;1;0;/kunden/abc/def/foo.bar;0
FILE_NAME_1=0;PHP;0;16;1;1;0;/kunden/.../isr_invsr_single_edit.php;0

Would become:

FILE_NAME_0=26926;PHP;0;16;1;1;0;abc/def/foo.bar;0
FILE_NAME_1=0;PHP;0;16;1;1;0;.../isr_invsr_single_edit.php;0

etc. etc.

If, despite the wisdom of 40+ years of collective software development
conventions, i place files outside of my project root, they are still
handled:

FILE_NAME_0=...;TEXT;0;16;1;1;0;/etc/hosts;0
