New issue 25139 by [email protected]: Kill all non-Windows uses of PATH_MAX
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=25139

PATH_MAX sucks.  It's not really the maximum length of a pathname, it's just
a poseur.  Pathnames are allowed to be longer than PATH_MAX characters,
although in some cases, if they are, some system and third-party routines  
will
still break down.

If there are system breakdowns due to PATH_MAX, that's fine.  Well, it's not
fine, but it's beyond our control, so we'll deal.  We shouldn't have any
PATH_MAX-related breakdowns in our own code, though.

I found a handful of uses of PATH_MAX in our codebase.  Almost all of them
will be really easy to kill.  A couple of them will only be fairly easy to  
kill.
