The attached patch fixes this. Note that this is just a
warning and should have no impact on the test result.

I always execute runtests.pl from "tests/" in which case
serverhelp.pm is found due to the ".":

fk_at_r500 ~/git/curl/tests $./runtests.pl ...

I can confirm that it doesn't seem to work when executing
from other directories, but my impression is that it is
not expected to work either.

I usually use the runtest.pl options -p and -v when trying to
analyze test failures. If that doesn't help, looking at the
actually test usually does.

Test 20 depends on the DNS server not resolving
"non-existing-host.haxx.se.", so test failures aren't necessarily
a sign of a curl bug.
