Subject: uses knowledge of current dir to pick app dir

uses knowledge of current dir to pick app dir

when the user is not explicit, we use a heuristic to get the application directory for a site avenger project.  if the current directory has an avenger5 directory someplace above it, then we can decide that's the implied directory to operate on.  and we do.
