One thing that really would make things a lot easier would be a fchdir()
call, that took a file descriptor and tried to chdir to it. All the info
that UNIX needs for the chdir is available via the fd.
Then you could do this:
cwfd = open(".", 0);
/* chdir around building cwd */
fchdir(cwfd);
close(cwfd);
One of the few features AmigaDOS has over UNIX...
