I don't believe `require` works with absolute paths, like those generated 
by path.resolve. (Could be wrong.) If I'm correct, then you may find 
path.relative to be a useful method.

Also note that of course path.resolve without a second argument will 
resolve relative to process.cwd(), not relative to __filename. This is 
rarely what you want.
