I don't really see why threading makes a difference for the CWD.  A
thread doesn't care any more than a fork about the CWD.

No, but there IS a known DocumentRoot at the time of execution.  I was
curious as to why the CWD was set to / instead of DocumentRoot.  I'm
currently doing this for each and every function:
os.chdir(req.document_root()).  A bit annoying to have to copy the code
over and over again.  I was just wondering if it could be a part of the
publisher code, mayhaps with a new PythonOption flag to keep backwards
compatability.
