Fine.
And what about realpath?The same, except that it should fail if the file or its parent directory doesn't exist, and it should ``resolve links'', whatever that may mean on Windows.
Hmm... it will be necessary to consider win9x/ME differently than win2k and later versions that have restricted symlink capability. With mount points one cannot reach "symlink/../not-in-cwd". To be consistent with that, we should first compute ".."'s and then fail. Correct? Probably that's going to change again for Vista, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/fileio/fs/creating_symbolic_links.asp Should I try a patch?
