Good point. In order to do proper normalization we need IO monad. The absolutizePath function is already in IO. I propose to remove normalizePath function and to keep only absolutizePath function (in System.Directory). On Windows it can be implemented on top of GetFullPathName and on Unix there is realpath function.
They're both useful functions, and I think both should be kept, and the differences documented. (See also zsh's "chase_dots" and "chase_links" options.) -- Aaron Denney -><-
