If we do one single getcwd on PHP module startup and use that to
initialize every requests cwd everything should work out of the box. Using
your approach would mean that we might have to dig into the
fopen_wrappers() and all of PHP to fix things with break. I really don't
want to do this.
If we can just emulate what chdir() and getcwd() are doing now, we would
in a very short time have a working PHP.
