Before this change, C<chdir sys> (performed in various places in the
File::Find tests) would set default to the system library directory. Ouch.
The logical name SYS is defined in the description file (Makefile) to help
out the C compiler, but it would also cause the tests
lib/File/Find/t/taint.t and lib/File/Find/t/find.t to mysteriously fail when
run as part of "MMK test", but not when run via any other method.
Since these tests also do quite a bit of deleting in order to clean up after
themselves, it's a bit scary how easily they can end up in the wrong place
(like the root of my system disk, for example). I don't understand why
File::Find needs to change to a directory in order to see what's there, but
I'm probably just being grumpy.
