Evalling
(locate-dominating-file "." "Makefile")
I get nil (unless the current directory has the file Makefile in it).
I expected to get some parent directory containing that file.
otoh, evalling:
(locate-dominating-file default-directory "Makefile")
works as expected.

Maybe locate-dominating-file should first call expand-file-name on FILE.
As it stands, it doesn't work with any non-absolute file name.

Indeed, it probably should.
