Sure, but paths it normalizes to the same thing almost

Well, there is a sort-of canonic version for every path; on
most Unix systems the function realpath(3) will find it.
Here is the BUGS listing from 'man realpath' on my system:

This is a very good summary, and I'm interested to see what you come up
with.

There also is a function which changes a path specification
into its canonic form, meaning that all redundant segments

Not quite. It's the same code (U+FEFF) as ZERO WIDTH NO-BREAK SPACE.

Hello!
I'm trying to build Haskell-JVM bridge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/jvm-
bridge/) under Windows (cygwin) and with Java 1.5.
I can execute "configure" without errors.
When I execute make, I get a lot of errors.
Due to a limited size of my buffer, I can show you only the last lines of

The *name* "BOM" doesn't make sense when applied to UTF-8, but some
software uses UTF-8 encoded U+FEFF it

I don't offer any answers, but the problems raised on this list concerning
file paths using local language characters would appear to have some
parallels in the world of URIs.
Martin Duerst and others at W3C have been working on the problem of
