 * For Windows, a path/filename may be the short (8.3) version
 * of the "real", long one. In this case, the short one
 * is abbreviated and contains a tilde etc.
 * This function returns a pointer to the original pathname
 * if it is the "real" one itself, and a pointer to a static
 * buffer (not thread-safe) containing the long version
 * if the pathname is indeed abbreviated.
 *
 * On platforms other than Windows, this function always returns
 * the input pathname pointer.
 *
 * This function is especially useful in tools that are called
 * by a batch file for loop, which yields short pathnames on Win9x.
