Or, don't bother setting the directory at all - in the standalone, the
directory is automatically set to the location of the currently running
executable (or OS X bundle) so it automatically is pointing in the right
place.

(NOTE: It didn't used to be this way on OS X - 'the directory' would be the
folder where the *engine* was  (in Contents/MacOS/) but that changed in
2.5.1 (I believe).)
