Summary: os.path.abspath eliminates symlinks

Initial Comment:
We switched os.path.abspath to use File.getCanonicalPath() to fix https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=112867&aid=1423047&group_id=12867

While that's an improvement over the original behavior, it now removes symlinks which is what's supposed to be done by os.path.realpath in Python.
