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).

There is no Unix counterpart in the patch, because I didn't know how
to implement it (with a call to realpath?) and I would have no way to
test it anyway.

Cheers,

Tomek
