Subject: Re: where to declare project path for require

I don't know how it's related to this topic but remember that with
ruby1.9 we get new require method, which IMHO is very importand:
require_relative "file"
(and as expected it require file relative to __FILE__)
With ruby1.8 (to be compatible) you can write own impl. of that
(stolen from http://extensions.rubyforge.org/rdoc/classes/Kernel.html#M000039)
    def require_relative(path)
      require File.join(File.dirname(caller[0]), path.to_str)
    end

I think it should be used very often by gem implementators. I don't
like if someone modify $: to add some lib internal directories etc.
