I'd be interested in that solution, sure!

But with the caveat that that might hide errors / fail silently when running 
(make-absolute-pathname (some-dir-yielding-query) foo) if the query fails-to-find. 
If (current-directory) itself fails to find (or otherwise returns #f) then 
make-absolute-pathname implemented that way loop and hang/freeze.
