One way to get __DIR__ is:

File.expand_path("..", __FILE__)

and it has the advantage of iterating nicely:

File.expand_path("../../..", __FILE__)

It does have the side-effect of conversion to an absolute path, but that 
is usually (in my experience) part of the process anyway, so __DIR__ 
doesn't save much effort.
