No. It's supposed to return the actual string that is referenced by the
thing being analyzed. But you can call gp_resolve_item to get the full
path... (There is a reason for this, although I can't remember what it is at
the moment... If I think of it, I'll reply again.)
>From commentary in the middle of the get_prerequisites function:
# Use the raw_item as the list entries returned by this function. Use
the
# gp_resolve_item function to resolve it to an actual full path file if
# necessary.
#
set(item "${raw_item}")
