0f7f3352c8 This little BSD licensed library has been kicking around for years.
It allows one to trivially convert an absolute path to a relative path
and the reverse. The test programs themselves are very useful in scripts
but the real use comes shortly with the -r and -a arguments to ln.
These are sometimes known as the --relative and --absolute flags and
can force a symlink to be relative when you only have an absolue path.
Another place these are sometimes used is to add -a and -r args to 'realpath'.
Incredibly useful in Makefiles.

I was going to just add the files in with 'ln' but a library makes more sense.
The test programs may come out in their own right some day for scripting.

The test directry does not conform to any framework.
Not connected to build.
doc people may want to play with the manual pages.
