I added your code to my local checkout, but now it seems that it makes
matters worse. The multiple_table_path.pl test actually fails when
trying to find a table in test/tables/moreTables.

I think the code that was there before seemed to work quite well with
the exception that it would continue to search in the system path if a
table was faulty in the LOUIS_TABLEPATH. So there are probably two
things that would be nice if they were fixed: 1) don't search in the
system paths if LOUIS_TABLEPATH is defined and 2) don't keep searching
if you found a table but the table doesn't compile.

Thanks
Christian
