The autorun trick is suggested all over the internet, but most of them don't mention the problems. [http://techbrahmana.blogspot.com/2009/10/changing-start-up-directory-of-command.html] does mention problems with build systems, and explains two other ways to get what was wanted.

The problems will happen with many programs which start other programs, it is very definitely not Fossil-specific.
