[plt-dev] bugfix for handin-server

AFAICT, the handin-server is written with the assumption that (current- 
directory) returns a string.  In particular, the 'run-servlet'  
function in web-status-server.ss calls string->path on server-dir,  
which may be obtained using (current-directory).  Fortunately, it  
appears that the downstream uses of this value don't require it to be  
a string, so it appears that you can fix this problem simply by  
removing the call to string->path. Here's the diff:

I've committed this; naturally, I'll unwind it if I've made a mistake.
