New utility routine in the C library:  getwd(3).  The subroutine equivalent
of pwd(1) (in fact, it invokes pwd if it gets desperate).  See getwd(3)
manual page for details.  This is the preferred way to find out what
directory a program is in.  Note that it needs the -lndir compilation
option, to pick up the directory(3) routines.
