Bug description

Since 4.03.0, the #use directive seems to treat "file.ml" and "./file.ml" differently:

• the "file.ml" one seems to be relative to the script.
• the "./file.ml" one seems to be relative to the current-directory of the ocaml process.

(Doesn't seem to be in the changelog:

Steps to reproduce

example/ex.ml:

#use "same_dir.ml"

#use "./dot_slash.ml"


let () = Printf.printf "%s, %s\n%!" Same_dir.(hello ()) Dot_slash.(hello ())

example/same_dir.ml

module Same_dir = struct let hello () = "same-dir" end

example/dot_slash.ml:

module Dot_slash = struct let hello () = "dot-slash" end

With 4.02.0

$ ocaml -version
The OCaml toplevel, version 4.02.3
$ ocaml example/ex.ml
Cannot find file same_dir.ml.
Cannot find file ./dot_slash.ml.
File "example/ex.ml", line 7, characters 36-44:
Error: Unbound module Same_dir
$ cd example/ ; ocaml ex.ml
same-dir, dot-slash

With 4.03.0

It finds same_dir.ml.

$ ocaml -version
The OCaml toplevel, version 4.03.0
$ ocaml example/ex.ml
Cannot find file ./dot_slash.ml.
File "./example/ex.ml", line 7, characters 56-65:

$ cd example/ ; ocaml ex.ml
