[Scons-users] [patch] SCons fails to run in standalone mode

[H. S. Teoh]

This was originally posted to the D mailing list, but reposting here
upon Russel's suggestion.

I used to be able to run SCons directly by invoking
/path/to/bootstrap.py, but the latest version of SCons fails to find the
appropriate files and aborts upon startup. Upon closer inspection, I
found that it was making a wrong assumption about the path to said files
(it assumes cwd = SCons root when it's still in the user's cwd).

The attached patch fixes this problem for me.

Hope this helps. Thanks!
