We could add OSM_DEFAULT_DAEMON_WORKING_DIR (which will be "/"), but
since this is related only for the daemon mode for me it looks like
overkill.

And if it is really important for us to run OpenSM daemon in the
directory which is not '/' (but is it?), when I guess we need or to add
new command line option, or as suggested by Michael just to drop this
responsibility to the user and to run the daemon in current directory
(no patches are required in this case).
