The modules use a mixture of getcwd() and $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] to create full paths to files. I'm not sure about getcwd(), but $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] is not reliable. Eg, on my apache mod_vhost setup it points at /htaccess, not at the actual Drupal installation directory.

This patch defines a function that determines the document root based on the full path to the module file. Note that it applies on top of #514324: patch for SQL Fixes for postgres, missing function name, fixed forms and a stray var_dump.
