Ah, when the check script isn't run from the directory it is
in it will fail to start it's sub-script. I added a warning
to that effect.

Thanks ! I added some wording to that effect :-)

As Sebastian pointed out this is not a good idea because ...

The shell scripts in gnumed/client/ do it for you. When we
package releases the installer will do it for you, too. You
could also manually point a link site-packages/Gnumed to
gnumed/client, too, which is what an installer will be doing.
