I have been thinking about this. 

For 1.11.x, I think putting expand_directory() as a static char * into
root.c is good enough. I doubt we will be expanding functionality to
need this in the stable release of cvs.

For 1.12.x, it might be reasonable to use the GNULIB version of
canonicalize_file_name() by adding a lib/canonicalize.c file that gets
built if the function does not exist on the target platform.
