In addition, I would presume that relpath would just return the absolute path if passed an absolute path as the second parameter.

I don't think so. Wouldn't you expect the result of

relpath("/usr/local/foo/bax/grump.c", "/usr/local/flump/grump.c")

to be "../../flump/grump.c" rather than "/usr/local/flump/grump.c"?

So the above would simply return "/usr/" IMO. Tim Delaney
