QT3 tests: EXPath tests

Hi John, hi O'Neil,

Would it be possible to rewrite the Saxon test driver such that the
"current working directory" is the directory from which the tests are
started, and not one that is different for a particular EXPath module?

In particular, this would mean that the sandpit directories would need
to be moved up one directory in the tests. The current structure looks
as follows:

  archive
  - sandpit
  file
  - sandpit

I would propose the following structure:

  sandpit
  - archive
  - file

The reason for this change request is that we didn't anticipate a
programmatic change of the current working directory. The solutions
for this I have found for Java are generally regarded as hacks [1].

What do you think? I'd be happy to update the existing tests.
Christian
