Just to clarify: this is different than the behavior with Windows/.NET,
where Assembly.Load() will also check the directory containing the app
executable (*not* the current directory). I wanted to know if this
difference is intentional, or if I should look into adding this
functionality to mono. Perhaps there is a good reason not to do this on
non-Windows platforms?
