bug#7872: Possible fix for relative pathnames given through the command line

[Jan Djärv]

It seems the right thing to do.  Checked in.  In the future, please use M-x 
report-emacs-bug so we can see the version you are reporting against.  The 
trunk version looks quite different.  It is likely there will be a merge 
conflict here.
