* Reverse a pathname. It returns a relative path that can be used to undo
* 'cd argv[1]'.
*
* It is impossible to do this in general, but this handles the cases that
* come up in imake. Maybe imake should use an absolute path for $(TOP)
* instead of a relative path so that this problem can be avoided?
