hi you,

sorry for making some noise here, but the pwd bash-builtin does have a
switch. start it with "pwd -P" and it will traverse symlinks and
printout the real current working directory.

pwd: pwd [-PL]
    Print the current working directory.  With the -P option, pwd prints
    the physical directory, without any symbolic links; the -L option
    makes pwd follow symbolic links.
Just another one for my "D'Oh!" file.

Thanks for pointing that out.
