-------------------------------+--------------------
 When running `run_tests.py` with a current working directory that's not
 the top of the stem source tree, it can't find a `tor` binary via a
 relative pathname.  This prevents `make test-stem` from working in the tor
 source tree.  (`run_tests.py` seems to mostly work if given a relative
 pathname to `tor` when run from the top of the stem source tree.)

 {{{
 tlyu@arcadia:~/src/tor$ ../stem/run_tests.py --tor ./src/or/tor --all
 --log notice --target RUN_ALL
 }}}

 produces many errors such as

 {{{
 Starting ./src/or/tor...

   failed to start tor: './src/or/tor' doesn't exist
 }}}

 A workaround is to provide an absolute pathname for the `tor` binary, like

 {{{
 tlyu@arcadia:~/src/tor$ ../stem/run_tests.py --tor `pwd`/src/or/tor --all
 --log notice --target RUN_ALL
 }}}

 but it would be nice if the relative pathname also worked.  (Adapting the
 `make test-stem` rule in tor is also a possibility.)
