PATCH 1/2] abspath: add absolute_pathdup()

[René Scharfe]

Add a function that returns a buffer containing the absolute path of its
argument and a semantic patch for its intended use.  It avoids an extra
string copy to a static buffer.

[PATCH 2/2] use absolute_pathdup()

[René Scharfe]

Apply the symantic patch for converting callers that duplicate the
result of absolute_path() to call absolute_pathdup() instead, which
avoids an extra string copy to a static buffer.

thank you!  I wonder where this came from.  And where my spellchecker 
went without as much as a farewell.  Reinstalled it now..
