We have a choice: leave it as it is now.

Because it might be wrong, if the environment _was_ perturbed (as it
frequently is, since the compiletr could have been in a totally
different directory when it recorded d:foo).

But if I still fail to convince you and others, go ahead and use
lrealpath, since at least it doesn't do anything for the DJGPP port,
so things will remain there as they are now.
