Path processing bug

[Joe Krahn]

Cygwin will accept the path "dir/../file" as being the same as "file", 
regardless of whether "dir" exists. Apprently, someone decided that a 
simple path-trimming rule would speed things up, but it is wrong. For 
example, it breaks building of xedit/lisp, where "lisp/../xedit.h" is 
not the same as "xedit.h".

This occurs from bash and tcsh, so it must be in some low-level 
unix-to-win32 path name processing.
