You misunderstood the question; let me rephrase it:

Can I write a .htaccess file without specifying the path where the script
will be located in RewriteBase?
For instance, consider
http://code.google.com/p/tictoclookup/source/browse/trunk/standalone/.htaccess
Here, anybody who wishes to use this code has to adapt the .htaccess file to
their path and change the "RewriteBase" entry.

Is it possible to write a .htaccess file that works *no matter* where it is
located, entirely based on where it is located relative to the Apache root
or an Apache directory?
