* if you want to turn relative paths into absolute ones, or if you
* want to make insane ones sane, but without chdir()'ing your way
* around the filesystem.

* Normalize a path
* By "normalize", we mean that we convert dot-slash and dot-dot-slash
* embedded components into a legible continuous string of characters.
* Leading and trailing slashes are kept exactly as they are in input,
* but with sequences of slashes reduced to a single one.
*
* "foo/bar/.././lala.txt" becomes "foo/lala.txt"
* "../../../../bar/../foo/" becomes "/foo/"
* "////foo////././bar" becomes "/foo/bar"
* @param orig_path The path to normalize
* @return A newly allocated string containing the normalized path

* null, it should be an absolute path for the result to make
