Hi,
With the other thread asking to add readlink, I would also like to ask
for an addition of Windows specific GetShortPathName. Without this
function it is impossible to check if two paths point to the same
place.
Is that because of reparse points or so? I though GetShortPathName
was more or less obsolete now.
However, I'm not sure if beefing up LuaTeX with this kind of
functionality is the best thing to do (there will be undoubtedly other
things worth adding).
I am less hesitant than usual about adding stuff when the request is
about scripting for texlive. If GetShortPathName is useful in such
a context, I do not mind adding it.
Perhaps external modules? What's the status of
loading binary modules? Will this be available for the coming TL
release?
Yes, but I expect there will not be any binary modules actually
included.
And another request if I may. With kpsewhich it is possible to specify
a search path explicitly with the -path switch, but this functionality
is not exposed through lua kpse lib. Could this be added?
Sure. If there is anything else from kpathsea people want, please
say so.
Best wishes,
Taco
