You should _not_ use this fix, at least not for a public gem (as you are not
only responsible for your own system). There are (security) issues with
having the current directory in the load path and . is removed with intent.

Use require_relative or something similar to fix the gem.

I appreciate that you want to help the community, go on with that.
