OK, it doesn't work that way. Hmm....
Yes, this makes intuitive sense to me. But forget it....

What's non-standard about it? I interpret cd /home/steve; ./foo as
being the same as export CWD=/home/steve; $(CWD)/foo. That doesn't
start with a / either; does that mean it's relative? I never have a
use for constructs like /home/steve/./foo.
But I don't have a problem if most people disagree with me. I just
can't imagine why anybody would write "xemacs -l ./poe.el" if they
didn't mean "don't search load-path".
