Repeating the default WARNS here makes it slightly more difficult to
experiment with default WARNS changes, e.g. if we did something absolutely
bananas and introduced a WARNS=7 and wanted to try lifting the default to
that.
Drop most of them; there is one in the blake2 kernel module, but I suspect
it should be dropped -- the default WARNS in the rest of the build doesn't
currently apply to kernel modules, and I haven't put too much thought into
whether it makes sense to make it so.
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.
