running namebench.py is tied to location in filesystem

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. install using README instructions
2. go to some random directory (e.g., /tmp)
3. run namebench.py

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected output same as when run in original directory (namebench-1.0.5/)

Actual output

(1) Out of the box:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/namebench.py", line 45, in <module>
    (options, supplied_ns, global_ns, regional_ns) = 
config.GetConfiguration()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/libnamebench/config.py", 
line 27, in GetConfiguration
    (configured_options, global_ns, regional_ns) = 
ProcessConfigurationFile(options)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/libnamebench/config.py", 
line 100, in ProcessConfigurationFile
    general = dict(config.items('general'))
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/ConfigParser.py", line 564, in items
    raise NoSectionError(section)
ConfigParser.NoSectionError: No section: 'general'

(2) After copying namebench.cfg to $PWD/namebench.cfg:

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
namebench-1.0.5, Ubuntu 9.10

Please provide any additional information below.

namebench.py runs successfully from the original directory used to unpack 
and build namebench.  It also runs successfully from the installation 
directory (/usr/local/namebench/).  It appears to look in $PWD for 
configuration and template information.

Same ConfigParser error on Ubuntu 9.10 after running pip on the tarball.

This is fixed in r563- included in namebench 1.1b1.
