Oh, alright then. Patch applied (#3494)

Thanks. One more patch for your consideration for something I needed recently: getting absolute, canonical file paths. In principle this can be implemented in pure Lua with the current lfs module, but getting all the corner cases right (e.g. foo/bar/./../baz) is not so easy. Perhaps having a convenience function for this is not such a bad idea (and using proper system APIs will guarantee that the result is correct).

What did you need it for anyway? As perhaps the problem it solves is win32-only?
