Subject: [PATCH] xbmk: allow to run from PATH

now you can put lbmk somewhere on your system,
and symlink to the mk script from PATH

e.g. /usr/local/bin/lbmk -> /home/leah/lbmk/mk

lbmk will cd to itself, including from PATH,
because the string will then be passed through
readlink, which gets the real path.
