    The real upshot of all this, btw, is that security evaluation against the
    CC and related specs will have very little relationship to closing bugs
    associated with realpath(), et al. A source code auditing effort, funded
    or otherwise, would still be extremely useful, but the goal would have to
    be a more pragmatic "fewer bugs", and not a certification "Grade A
    Security" :-).
