Implemented a heuristics that tries to start the gimp in the same

2003-01-08  Simon Budig  <simon@gimp.or>

        * tools/gimp-remote.c: Implemented a heuristics that tries to
        start the gimp in the same directory as gimp-remote-1.3.
        If this fails it falls back to the regular PATH search.

        For sanity checks this feature requires that the command name
        starts with "gimp-remote". If you do weird symlinks the heuristics
        will fall back to the PATH search silently.
