While I'm at it, it would be nice if cygwin exported resolvepath(2) - it is not POSIX, but Solaris defines it as:
#include <unistd.h>
int resolvepath(const char *path, char *buf, size_t bufsiz);
similar to the POSIX XSI-required realpath(2), but with a size argument. Coreutils currently checks at configure time for resolvepath, rather than realpath.
