add the top level directory to Pcb.elementPath.


FWIW, I often times in a project directory, create a pcb wrapper
script that looks like:

#!/bin/sh
XAPPLRESDIR=/path/to/my/project
export XAPPLRESDIR
unset XUSERFILESEARCHPATH
exec /path/to/pcb/bin/pcb-bin $@


and then in /path/to/my/project I copy the app-defaults file, Pcb,
and make any local settings I want there.
