[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #36677] make_absolute_filename: extend to work with Windows drive letters

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #18, bug #36677 (project octave):

@mmuetzel As long as 'make_absolute_filename' still fully supports nonexistent
file and directory names, it doesn't matter to me whether it attempts to
canonicalize names or not.

I guess the argument could be made that the only purpose of the function is to
turn a relative file name into an absolute file name. If the input is already
an absolute file name it should be returned unmodified.
