Refer to the recent thread "How to get the directory of the current
executed file?"
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.lua.general/73754

As mentioned in that thread, debug.getinfo(1, "S").source:sub(2) will
give you the name of file being executed - you just need to split out
the dirname and then edit your package.path appropriately.
