Howdy folks.  Spyce newbie here.

I have noticed an oddity in the *include.spyce* behavior.

If the argument is a relative path - *include.spyce('../include.spy')* -
everything works fine.

But if I pass an absolute path -
*include.spyce('/cluster/home/user/public_html/share/include.spy')
*- it looks like spyce prepends the spyce home directory (which in this case
is the same as the http home) on to the path - * spyceNotFound:
spyceNotFound exception: could not find
"/common/www/html/cluster/home/user/public_html/share/include.spy"

*While the absolute path behavior seems consistent with the documentation,
this is incredibly odd.  If I specify an absolute path, shouldn't it assume
I'm pointing to exactly what I want?

this whole thing is especially annoying since I need to *execfile  *a file
in the same directory (which *only* takes absolute paths seemingly) and
hence need to keep both a relative and absolute path reference.  Piddly to
be sure, but annoying.

That said, Spyce is really rocking my world, and is *exactly* the right
solution for my project.
