Hi Bruno,

I will address these issues step by step, time permitting.
Again, help is most welcome.

The attached patch addresses the dependencies on xalloc.  But
I also notice that canonicalize is not canonicalize-lgpl, and
there are xallocs in there.  I'm afraid pulling this string
would lead to much more work than I was ready to invest on this.

I have updated the akim/relpath branch.
