TestModel.ldr contains a reference to Sub/Sub1.ldr.  When Sub1.ldr refers to
Sub2.ldr, should it use Sub2.ldr as the filename or Sub/Sub2.ldr?  In other
words, does the "current model directory" part of the search path refer to the
model the user actually loaded, the current model, or both?

For reference, LDView can't find the file if you don't use Sub/Sub2.ldr in
Sub1.ldr.  I would lean towards saying that this is incorrect behavior, but
since nobody has complained about it, it appears that people aren't doing this
in their models (which is understandable, I guess).

I would also lean towards always requiring the subdirectory, but am open to
argument the other way.
