Subject: documentation patch: should note abs_path works on dirs only
The documentation should note that note that abs_path/realpath expect directories as input, not files it may be obvious, but even looking at manpage, for example, http://www.gsp.com/cgi-bin/man.cgi?section=3&topic=realpath only says pathname, and a pathname can be dir or file

Hmm, it appears this applies only to fast_abs_path, huh?

The next version of Cwd, due pretty soon, will get abs_path() working on files as well as directories. Seems like everyone noticed this at once. =) -Ken
