i was explained that it searches for cwd/current dir, and then down to
the document root in that order. i am not sure if it stops once it
hits a file though or continues. i want to say it stops. i might be
wrong. i got the explanation on IRC and actually asked to try to write
it up so they could post it but i didn't think about asking about the
stopping-on-finding-a-file deal.
