I'd rather not use the hardcoded path. If I build the code on one
machine, tarball it up and move it to another machine and extract it,
and then run that code from that machine, I want it to still use the
plugins for that machine.

I was hoping to test:

	string = cmdline_path() + "../../kernel-shark/lib/";

If that exists, then we know that we are in the source directory.
