[Mongrel] problem restarting mongrel_cluster outside RAILS_ROOT - patch and other option

[Matte Edens]

DOH.  missed that one.  shoulda looked closer.  That 
/var/run/mongrel_cluster location is a good idea.  hadn't thought of 
that.  However, you mention the init.d script.  My linux_fu is not 
strong so I'm guessing that the equivalent will work just fine in a 
FreeBSD setup.

Thanx Bradley.  I eagerly await the next release.  Now, off to update my 
config files.
