Understood.  I have copied Bruno and the gnulib list for an update on
what the status of this bug is, and what if anything is needed to fix
canonicalize_path on mingw.

The context:

   http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.gnulib.bugs/25451

I would appreciate it if Gnulib folk would have another look at this
one.

Thanks,

Andy
