QMTEST_DB_PATH suggestion

Hi,

The documentation states that if the QMTEST_DB_PATH variable is set in the
environment, then that database is used, otherwise the current directory is
used. This is fine.

I would like to be able to reference files from the database root directory
in my tests, for instance to use common files in the tests...

I can do this if I set QMTEST_DB_PATH before starting QMTest and use this
variable inside my tests.

However, I have multiple test databases and would like to avoid setting this
variable and instead start QMTest from the database root directory.

So, I suggest that when QMTest uses the current directory as the database,
it automatically set QMTEST_DB_PATH to this directory. In this way, whether
QMTEST_DB_PATH is set in the user environment or by QMTest, it is always set
to the database root directory and available in the tests.

Regards,
Gilles
