shell-mode command completion with slashes

[Barry Margolin]

I'm running Emacs 22.2.50 on OS X 10.5.5, and I use shell mode 
extensively.  I don't have "." in my $PATH, so if I want to run a 
program in the current directory I need to type "./program-name".  I'd 
like to be able to type "./prog<TAB>" and have it complete it, but it 
doesn't.  I looked at the source code of shell-dynamic-complete-command, 
and it explicitly checks for "~" or "/" in the word being completed, and 
gives up.  And shell-dynamic-complete-filename gives up if it's being 
used for the first word of a command, it only works for arguments.

This used to work, probably before I upgraded from 22.1 to 22.2.  Anyone 
know how to get the old behavior back?  Did it use 
comint-dynamic-complete-filename instead of 
shell-dynamic-complete-filename?  The former doesn't check for the 
location in the command, but it also doesn't care whether the file it 
completes to is an executable.
