+ * Rationalise the current directory, returning the string.

+ * If "d" is not NULL, it is used to store information about the
+ * directory. The returned name is also present in d->dirname and is in
+ * permanently allocated memory. The handling of this case depends on
+ * whether the fchdir() system call is available; if it is, it is assumed
+ * the caller is able to restore the current directory. On successfully
+ * identifying the directory the function returns immediately rather
+ * than ascending the hierarchy.
+ *
+ * If "d" is NULL, no assumption about the caller's behaviour is
+ * made. The returned string is in heap memory. This case is
+ * always handled by changing directory up the hierarchy.
+ *
+ * On Cygwin or other systems where USE_GETCWD is defined (at the
+ * time of writing only QNX), we skip all the above and use the
+ * getcwd() system call.
