Hi!
Commit 9d3994f changes ‘local-file’ to resolve relative file names
relative to the form where ‘local-file’ appears.
This means that you can use it in your OS config, and files will be
looked up relative for your OS config file (instead of relative to
$PWD), which is usually what one expects.
Feedback welcome!
Ludo’.

That's bitten me a few times and my attempt to fix it with
'source-filename' failed. Thank you!
