All "path" variables are paths, that is, web-facing paths; all
"directory" variables are filesystem paths. For example, $wgUploadPath
vs. $wgUploadDirectory. The exception to this rule is $IP, which is a
filesystem path.
This *should* be documented in LocalSettings.php or
includes/DefaultSettings.php.
