I believe this problem should be fixed also on systems other
than Windows, or the checkin should be reverted again.

I've prepared a patch based on an idea of Skip Montanaro,
who pointed my to the realpath() function.
It is tested on a SuSE 7.0 Linux system, but I don't know
which #ifdef I have to se around this code. See the patch
for details.

Reopened and unassigned for review.

The attached patch (sysmodule.diff) fixes the problem on 
Windows - that's the only system where I can test it.

It leaves sys.argv alone and only changes sys.path[0] to an 
absolute pathname.
