I'm trying to use the dir-locals mechanism to specify different mode
settings for files in different directories.  For example, my project
has files with the "txt" extension in a "doc" directory which are RST
documents and should be opened in "rst-mode" and configuration files in
a cfg directory also with a "txt" extension which should be opened in
"conf-mode".

For example:

$ mkdir -p test/{doc,cfg}
$ cd test
$ cat > .dir-locals.el
   (("doc"
     (text-mode (mode . rst)))
    ("cfg"
     (text-mode (mode . conf))))
^D
$ cat > cfg/config.txt
[my_app]
key=value
^D
$ cat > doc/document.txt
======================
Some design document
======================
This is in *RST* mode
^D
$

Unfortunately, in `hack-dir-local-variables', the "doc" and "cfg"
directories are not recognized relative to the .dir-locals.el file but
relative to the opened file.  This means that with this dir-locals file,
both the "config.txt" and "document.txt" are opened in text mode.

The following patch fixes the problem:
