Realpath could invoke the 'resolvepath' system call, if it is available.
That would be more reliable than the chdir/getcwd hack that you suggested.
This assumes that your kernel has 'resolvepath'. If it doesn't,
perhaps you could have it added. It does seem to be a better approach.
Solaris 8 realpath uses 'resolvepath'.
