> corinna: Emulate linux version of realpath

now when I have a file "foo.exe",
realpath("foo") returns "foo" instead of "foo.exe"
also:
$ ls -l /proc/self/exe
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 sds mkgroup-l-d 0 Jan 18  2006 /proc/self/exe -> /usr/bin/ls*

instead of ls.exe, so /proc/self/exe cannot be open() for input.

so, now I must add the "exe" suffix myself?!
