It sounds like there is a precedent for searching in CWD. I don't know 
how useful it is (I traced it back to r185366, but it is not mentioned 
there specifically), but it is there, and I guess it's not completely 
nonsensical from the POV of a command line user.

I guess we can just keep that there and not call it a hack (though, the 
fact that the searching happens inside SymbolFilePDB *is* a hack).

Searching in the minidump directory would also make sense somewhat, but 
I expect you would need more plumbing for that to happen (and I don't 
know of a precedent for that).
