Are you looking for realpath?
<In case the script you are looking for is a shell script (not a viml one)>
AFAIK, realpath does not work on non existant files -- that could be
problematic if you wish to follow directories.
Moreover you will have to distinguish between files passed to vim from
vim arguments like "-c /foo".
In the end you will implement something very similar to the script
cyg-wrapper I'm maintening (check my signature). The easiest thing to do
is probably to adapt cyg-wrapper to not use "cygpath" and other programs
related to windows (like "start")

Otherwise, may be you can play with things like FilePreRead and :file ?
Thanks
