The basic reason is making them easier to use. What triggered this was the observation that getwd(3) is very hard to use right now, because the interlibrary dependencies between it and the directory library don't work right. -- Henry Spencer @ U of Toronto Zoology {allegra,ihnp4,linus,decvax}!utzoo!henry
