/* In general, we can't use the builtin `dirname' function if available,

In some environments the builtin `dirname' modifies its argument.
Return the leading directories part of FILE, allocated with xmalloc.
Works properly even if there are trailing slashes (by effectively
ignoring them). Unlike POSIX dirname(), FILE cannot be NULL.
If lstat (FILE) would succeed, then { chdir (dir_name (FILE));
lstat (base_name (FILE)); } will access the same file. Likewise,
if the sequence { chdir (dir_name (FILE));
rename (base_name (FILE), "foo"); } succeeds, you have renamed FILE
to "foo" in the same directory FILE was in. */
