Some versions of Mingw32 abspath implementation has trouble working with
windows formatted path.

    $(abspath "C:/A/B") returns "/C/CUR/DIR/C:/A/B" instead of "/C/A/B"

relpath does not have this problem, it does additional symlink resolution but is
not a problem.
Note: on windows it does not remove the trailing `/`.
