[xcvb-devel] CL_SOURCE_REGISTRY question

Hello,

What should XCVB do in these cases of how CL_SOURCE_REGISTRY is set:

CL_SOURCE_REGISTRY=
CL_SOURCE_REGISTRY=. ;; or some other relative path
CL_SOURCE_REGISTRY=/absolute/but/nonexistent/path
CL_SOURCE_REGISTRY=/a/good/path

The last one, of course, works, but what would you like the semantics of
the other three to be?

And, it turns out that (pathname-directory ".") is NIL, but
(pathname-directory "./") is (:relative :up). Is there a decent means
of dealing with this problem?

Thank you.

-pete
