Comment(by batterseapower):
Another complication is that according to T4113 on Windows:
{{{
canonicalizePath "/no/such/file" == "C:\\no\\such\\file"
}}}
This function should probably be fixed so that it never fails just because
the file is missing. Current behaviour is causing T4113 to fail on OS X
because on OS X:
{{{
canonicalizePath "" == getCurrentDirectory
}}}
But on other platforms it throws an exception.
