Smalltalk/X fails to start on Windows when launcher script is run from different directory

[Jan Vrany]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open terminal, in build tree go to build\stx directory
2. Run Smallltak/X from there: projects\smalltalk\smalltalk.bat --eval "Logger info: 'KUK'"

Observed behavior

Smalltalk/X IDE does not start, smalltalk.bat says:

jv@WIN7 H:\Projects\SmalltalkX\sources\stx_8_0_0_x32_lin\build\stx      
> projects\smalltalk\smalltalk.bat --eval "Logger info: 'KUK'"          
The system cannot find the file smalltalk.cfg.                          
                                                                        
"[INFO] PowerShell detected: ->TRUE<-.                                  
"[INFO] The latest latest_powershell_version found: 2.0."               
"[INFO] With the runtime being: v2.0.50727."                            
                                                                        
"[ERROR] No message defined."                                           
                                                                        
"[ERROR] No message defined."                                           
Press any key to continue . . .

I have not tested but I think this also affects ​"release" builds. This must be tested before closing this issue!

Also, this makes me think whether the launcher script should look for it's configuration file also on %USERPROFILE%\.smalltalk\smalltalk.cfg. It kind of make sense to ma to configure the behavior once for all different installations ans build trees I'm using (for example, when working on different features/projects).

I see the issue was that the path variable was missing from the whole configuration filename. The patch should fix the issue.
