Yes, depending on the command line options, the working directory is 
either used or not.  IMHO I think the second solution (Tell the user 
what is happening) is the best way to go.  In this way if the directory 
is needed and is already there the user will receive a message, but if 
the directory is not needed pungi will be silent about the situation.
I'll revisit this patch today and see if it behaves like expected.  I'll 
post any results on the list.

Regards.
