On my Linux boxes, /usr/include/stdlib.h declares a function called
'canonicalize_file_name()'.  AFAICT its purpose is to return the absolute 
path to a file (or folder) after resolving any symbolic links in the 
supplied path.  Cygwin's stdlib.h doesn't contain this function.  I just 
wondered if it's available anywhere else or if there's an equivalent 
function elsewhere.
