The mingw port used _fullpath() until now, but the behaviour is not exactly the same as realpath()'s on unix; major difference being that it doesn't return an error for non-existing files, which would bypass main's error checking and bail out without any error message. Also realpath() will return forward slashes only since main() relies on that.
This is experimental, community-supported Windows port of MicroPython. It is based on Unix port, and expected to remain so. To cross-compile under Debian/Ubuntu Linux system: sudo apt-get install mingw32 mingw32-binutils mingw32-runtime make CROSS_COMPILE=i586-mingw32msvc- The port requires additional testing, debugging, and patches.
