Comment(by nbachiyski):

 {{{$PWD}}} is different than {{{realpath('.')}}}. realpath resolves
 symlinks and relative references ({{{.}}} and {{{..}}}). Historically it
 had caused a lot of problems in the UNIX world, because of strange/buggy
 implementations.

 If realpath fails, we can use dirname to resolve at least . and .. and
 forget about the symlinks.
