How about adding a FIXME explaining why this is only a partial
solution and what needs to be done to fix it?

By "partially", I mean it does not resolve symbolic links. But it returns an absolute pathname with any "." or ".." removed. Vista will include an API to resolve symlinks, but I didn't find
such an API for previous versions.
