Description Paolo Bonzini 2010-04-15 22:31:25 UTC 
Getting a canonical file name, possibly following symlinks and correctly
handling trailing slashes, is not portable and much more complicated than it 
sounds like! (And realpath is buggy as well as not portable.)

This patch adds a function that does this, behaving the same way under Win32 and Unix, with GError, additional knobs and testcases.
