# Library of shell functions.
# Convert a relative path into it's absolute equivalent.
#
# This function will automatically prepend the current working directory if the
# path is not already absolute. It then removes all parent references (../) to
# reconstruct the proper absolute path.
#
# Args:
# shlib_path_: string: relative path
# Outputs:
# string: absolute path
shlib_relToAbsPath()

shlib_path_=$1
# prepend current directory to relative paths

# clean up the path. if all seds supported true regular expressions, then
# this is what it would be:
