The reason I don't want to use GetFullPathName() is because on Unix, we
just return the specified path, not the full path, so I don't want to do
something different on Win32 unless we have to. There is good reason to
get the short path on Win32, if we can, but no logic to returning the
full path only on Win32, if that is not what was specified by configure.
