[PD] folder_list relative paths

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

I just changed the relative support in the object, it now is relative  
to the patch directory, the previous version that you have is relative  
to the path that Pd was started in.  You can either build that from  
source, or use this workaround involving [getdir]
