So, I'd like to know who (if anybody) really uses F_GETPATH. 

I think the patch is simple enough, and if there is a real program that is 
worth porting for which this actually matters, I don't really see any 
downsides. But I'd like to hear more about it, and I also wonder if others 
do it differently.

Also, are there any other interfaces that other OS's use for this, do you 
know? Would be good to know before/if we decide to support something like 
this..
