The only thing I can think of is when running as browser plugin, you  
should keep the "old" project launcher in place for that. The plugin  
will give an empty argument as script, so that's easy to distinguish.

The harder part is that there is no concept of a current working  
directory in Squeak. To find the script, you need to convert a  
relative path to the absolute one using cwd. This can either be done  
in the shell script, or one could abuse the SecurityPlugin which  
listens to environment variables ... or extend the VM ... or use  
OSProcess ...
