Looks pretty good to me. I think calling cwd.set always with a
NULL pointer is a good idea. The resulting posix path is guaranteed
to be right.
Did you try find(1)? Do you recall the problems we had with find years
ago when crossing a mount point? I tried to create a scenario but
either it works fine or I failed to set that up correctly. It would
be nice if we could make sure that these cases work. I tried some
combinations with symlinks and they are working well, AFAICS.
