Fix FindFile (and FindDir) so that the value of RootDir is applied to the default if no value is found.
Previously FindFile("Dir::etc", "/etc") would use RootDir if a value
existed for "Dir::etc"; otherwise it would go ahead and use "/etc",
ignoring RootDir. Of course, this made RootDir fairly useless; it
has now been fixed.
