This seems to be OS dependent. If I put 'print sys.path' at the start of 
site.py (which does most of the setup of sys.path), one element of the 
path is an empty string. This is expanded by
main() -> removeduppaths() -> makepath() -> os.path.abspath()
to the current working dir.

This is Python 2.4.2 on Win2K.
