Call me a nitpicker:

[acme@...icio ~]$ cat realpath.c 
#include <limits.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	char *resolved = realpath(argv[1], NULL);

	puts(resolved);
}
[acme@...icio ~]$ make realpath
cc     realpath.c   -o realpath
[acme@...icio ~]$ ./realpath //
/
[acme@...icio ~]$ ./realpath ////////////////
/
[acme@...icio ~]$ ./realpath /./././
/
[acme@...icio ~]$ ./realpath /..//.
/
[acme@...icio ~]$

I'll fix this up and merge, thanks!
