I'm not planning to do that without sponsoring, sorry. 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 -- http://wingolog.org/
