I agree 100% with this reasoning (modulo s/symliks/symlinks/).
As to the implementation, it looks a bit overly complicated,
though. I haven't tried writing the same myself, but
* I suspect that strbuf would help simplifying the allocation and
deallocation;
* Also I suspect that use of string-list to split and then join is
making the code unnecessarily complex. In Python/Perl, that would
be a normal approach, but in C, it would be a lot simpler if you
prepare a writable temporary in wtpart[], walk from left to right
finding '/' and replacing it temporarily with NUL to terminate in
order to check with real_path(), restore the NUL back to '/' to
check deeper, and rinse and repeat.
Having said that, I am not absolutely sure if the repeated
calls to real_path() are doing the right thing, though ;-)
