[M3devel] Reasoning for /usr/local/cm3 ?

[Rodney M. Bates]

I've had this around for a while.  Don't know how portable it is.
It's mainly a main executable wrapper for, and
delegates the real work to, FS.GetAbsolutePathname,
which, if not fully portable, ought to be fixed so it is. 

It works on LINUXLIBC6 and AMD64_LINUX. 

It also changes backslashes to forward slashes.
Maybe better for general script use if it returned
a return code if things go awry.
