[IronPython] Ref to "." to be omitted from sys.path. Objections?

The "." (rather "") in cPy is a neat trick. It's added only in
"interactive" (console, "-c") cases and allows you to change the CWD
to the dir you want and have your custom modules picked up as local
wherever dir you change to from within the console. Do that all the
time when deving. Setting fully-resolved path to CWD feels limiting in
that context.
