I dislike common-utils.c for "kitchen-sink" reasons, though.
There's common/filestuff.c, but that looks more for low/OS level
file things.
There's substitute_path_component (and gdb_realpath / gdb_abspath)
in utils.c. Maybe put it next to substitute_path_component, which
seems to be in the same "family" of function, and then (at some point)
we would move all file name/path manipulation routines to its own file.
WDYT?
Thanks,
Pedro Alves
