Once upon a time, I put together a little function 
that tries to find the canonical filename for a given 
pathname on POSIX.  I've finally gotten around to 
turning it into a proper patch with documentation.  
On non-POSIX, I made it an alias for 'abspath', as 
that's the behavior on POSIX when no symlinks are 
encountered in the path.

Example:
>>> os.path.realpath('/usr/bin/X11/X')
'/usr/X11R6/bin/X'

Cool. I'll test and apply this later.
