Summary:  import fails with relative pathname

Original Submission:  in parse.c, the function FindInputFile uses 
LastFileSeparator in an attempt to determine whether a path is absolute. The 
test is incorrect, because relative paths containing slashes will cause the 
test to skip the append. As written, you cannot import from anywhere but an 
absolute path or a file residing within the CFINPUTS directory.

I believe the test should be using IsFileSep instead of LastFileSeparator.

A patch is attached.  Patch compiled on rh_9 and appears to correct the problem.
