Summary: GetFullPathName does not process dir "." properly

Initial Comment:
(NSIS 2.11) I use (abuse?) GetFullPathName a lot to 
make absolute paths from relative ones e.g.: 

'GetFullPathName $0 "$INSTDIR\.."' 

This works properly. Unfortunately it can not be used 
to make c:\a\b from c:\a\.\b which in my opinion it 
should because . means current directory. I regard 
this as a bug because if ".." is supported "."  should 
be as well 

Regards,

Erik Janssen, eja...@op...
