Summary: Script directory should be added to the python path

Initial Comment:
If a worker process is started from a directory different to the script directory, python modules in that directory cannot be loaded automatically.

This is not an problem when the console distribution feature is used because the process CWD is automatically set to the root of the distribution (which is presumably what the user wants). However, it causes confusion if the agent is started standalone from a different directory to the script.

The script directory should be added automatically to the end of the python path. (Note, the use of  python.path, not CLASSPATH - the latter would require mucking around with the new __pyclasspath__ stuff, see Jython issue 1181).

The problem was originally reported by Poornima Mallur.
