Version 0.2: Adds relative-path-root option.

* `relative-path-root` option added. This facilitates situations where the
  current directory of the invocation context is different than the working
  directory of the program. This is required to use `jlp` with tools like
  *Nailgun*, which keeps a persistant `java` process running and proxies new
  invocations to the existing process.
