Thanks for noticning this problem and working on it.

I think that part is not correct.  It assumes invocation-directory
will be /usr/local/SOMETHING, and that is not likely at all.

The same issue applies to the file w32-fns.el.

    diff -r -c3 --exclude=configure emacs-22.0.90.orig/lisp/paths.el emacs-22.0.90/lisp/paths.el

What is the motive for this change?
