Console output on 2 failed starts, and one succesfull start of freecol

Freecol 1.1.0 does install without errors, but it does not run unless the user
cd's into the game directory first.

Steps to reproduce:
$ wget
https://sourceforge.net/projects/freecol/files/freecol/freecol-1.1.0/freecol...
$ rm -rf ~/wine-tmp
$ mkdir ~/wine-tmp
$ export WINEPREFIX=~/wine-tmp
$ wine freecol-1.1.0-with-java.exe Now the installer starts. Accept the
defaults. The game installes without any errors.
$ wine ~/wine-tmp/drive_c/Program\ Files/FreeCol/FreeCol.exe Now the game does
not start
$ cd wine-tmp/drive_c/Program\ Files/FreeCol/
$ wine FreeCol.exe Now the game starts.

My versions:
$ wine --version
wine-8.11
$ uname -a

--- Comment #1 from Alexandre Julliard  ---
Many Windows apps look for their files in the current directory, and thus fail
when they are started from somewhere else. It's not a Wine bug, it fails the
same way on Windows.
