Summary: CGIHTTPServer execfile should save cwd 

Initial Comment:
In CGIHTTPServer when running a script via execfile the 
cwd is not saved and restored.  If the executed script 
changes the cwd subsequent requests will fail because 
self.translate_path in SimpleHTTPServer relies on the 
cwd.

One fix is to suround the execfile call with
save_cwd = os.getcwd()
and
os.chdir(save_cwd)

Here is the proposed fix starting at line 254:

+	save_cwd = os.getcwd()
	try:
	    try:
	        sys.argv = [scriptfile]
	        if '=' not in decoded_query:
	            sys.argv.append(decoded_query)
	        sys.stdout = self.wfile
	        sys.stdin = self.rfile
	        execfile(scriptfile, {"__name__": 
"__main__"})
	    finally:
+	os.chdir(save_cwd)
