It seems to me that the resolution of that issue should have been to 
either make os.path.realpath work correctly on Tru64, so we can freely 
use it as documented. If that is not possible, the doc should say not 
available ... and the test skipped on Tru64. I realizes that skipping 
tests is perhaps easier now.
