Having the current directory in your path by default is considered to be
a security hazard in *NIX. (Ought to be okay in your own directories,
but who knows what lurks in some of the directories you might cd to.)
Near as I can tell, the newer versions of MSWindows seem to at least be
pushing the current directory down to the end of the default path list.
