 I don't think this is a good idea for security reason. ruby don't add "."
 in rb_load_path only when ruby_init() is called with $SAFE > 0. This mean,
 if I've well understood the source, that only a extension can prohibit the
 inclusion of "." in $LOAD_PATH.

 Someone can confirm, or infirm, this ?

 If "." is the first entry, a script can load any standard module in place
 of the  real module, no ?
