I couldn't really think of a way to write a Mauve test for this.
I suppose with strace at least we could see whether relative or
absolute file names are being opened.  But ... what difference would
it make?  It seems to me that patching URLClassLoader will yield
correct results (as far as can be observed); and I couldn't think of
a problem with this approach.  Note though that you can't modify the
URLs as reported by getURLs.
