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'.
