Thanks for the resolve() lead.
For the record, It turns out that resolve() resolves symlinks but does
not make them absolute.
For example if if path1== "/home/joe" and path2 == "." and current dir
is "/home/joe",
expression (resolve(path1) == resolve(path2)) is false.
The following does the trick for me:
func! ResolveAndMakeAbsolute(path)
let r = expand(a:path)
return r[0] == '/' ? resolve(r) : getcwd() . "/" . r
endfun
(which breaks on Windows but that is another story).
