I'm finding that the -initfile approach has problems if foo.m contains
code that tries to read other files.  I don't understand what's going
on yet though.  For now I'm just sticking with -run.
If anyone can shed light on this, I'd appreciate it.  I'm thinking it
may point toward a subtle mathematica bug.
