Right, it was causing a number of weird problems, such as trowing off a 
call to osh while you happen to be in the root directory of an 
incompatible OMake source tree.

This is probably a good idea. Currently we use "/unknown/omake"; I do 
not see any reason not to use the real directory. I made this change in 
rev. 9970.
