make symlinked(?) home directories work #83

I'm having an issue where modd fails on my remote dev system. The reason, I believe, is because my home dir appears to be a symlink (readlink -f returns real path). Paths returned by @mods and $(pwd)/theFileInQuestion are very different.

This makes all patterns fail, except those that use **, which accounts for differences by virtue of how it works.
However, when using ** in this situation, then indir will fail with a fork/exec: no such file. The obvious fix is to put the equivalent command into the prep directive (cd something && ...).

So far, this looks like the best workaround, to prepend all patterns with ** and include directory changes into the prep directive.
