The other solution would be to make the module loader look in the right 
directory. The one in src/tests/add-ons/kernel/kernelland-emu.cpp does -- 
though it's currently a bit dumb, since it only works, when the test app is 
run from `current'.

Both AbsSymLink and RelSymLink work in a similar way. They take two 
regular, already located targets and create one as a symlink to the other 
one.

Done.
