Want to take bets on this breaking something due to something in non-Windows land not expecting an absolute path?

I have no reason to believe this. I just have no faith in anything l10n related when it comes to automation.

In fact, the cd foo && pwd pattern from old-configure *does* make it an absolute path already. pwd -P removes symlinks, which is equivalent to os.path.realpath, and pwd -W prints a Windows path as opposed to a msys path, which is all good.

Where this might fail, though, is with automation passing insane number of backslashes. I told them to use forward slashes already.

What I was comment on what that `cd $L10NBASEDIR && pwd -W` only occurs on Windows before. Now it occurs everywhere. I hope that doesn't matter.

on other platforms, there was `cd $L10NBASEDIR && pwd -P`. That was my point.
