ldlinux: CurrentDir not set if syslinux.cfg is missing
If a syslinux floppy does not contain a config file (syslinux.cfg) modules are
not being found unless specified with a directory prefix (e.g. /pcitest.c32).
The reason is that CurrentDir is only set if there is a config file present. This is a
possible regression since commit
68eefb79e2cbb590ebf958dd0c50ce00b941abd2.
Before this change RootDir was used in searchdir and now it's CurrentDir unless
the filename starts with '/'. Possible fix is to set CurrentDir to RootDir if no config
file is found.
Actually it seems better to move this to the top of the "check for config file" block.

the first character of the canonical Unicode decomposition of the
case-mapped character), then use it for the intracodepage table (used
for shortnames.) This matches DOS behaviour. No obvious way, yet, to
handle the fact that DOS doesn't uppercase the lowercase sigma, but
that's not a huge problem; besides, lowercase sigma is mapped to
position 0xE5, which would require dealing with the special handling
of this character in the first position.
