I've tried this on many different shells and it appears to be  
reliable only if there are no dirnames in the command.  Typing a  
relative path to the script breaks it.  However, it's nothing that a  
call to realpath() can't cure so here's what I propose to do, unless  
someone else can think of a reason not to:

1. Remove ./ from the list of places searched.
2. Merge SQUEAK_PLUGINS and SQUEAK_PLUGIN_PATH into one.
3. Fix any relative paths in SQUEAK_PLUGIN_PATH via realpath().
4. Make SQUEAK_PLUGIN_PATH be the first place searched.

This would give you what you're asking for (use the -plugins option)  
with the smallest change to the behaviour of the binary.

Cheers,
