It seems that at least Linux, True64 (alias OSF alias Digital Unix),
Solaris and HP-UX have realpath()-function which does just the thing which
"wide symlinks" needs. If (and when) I get the patch ready, do you think I
should

- Just use realpath()
- Implement a version of realpath for Samba for those systems which have
  symlinks but no realpath()
- do both.

Hmm. glibc should have a realpath() implementation and since it is LGPL, I
could just use that. Does anyone have any objections to that?
