   - do you fell it reasonnable to translate any input file name in a unified
   internal naming convention (e.g. URL) ?

Definitely seems like overkill for the very few applications in the
binutils which need this information.

In some cases, though, I suspect that the binutils code should simply
be calling basename.  basename is provided in libiberty if it is not
available in the system library.
