Aardvark Shellutils - Three utilities to make working with shell scripts easier

 Realpath- implementation of the 'realpath' function for returning
 the canonicalized absolute pathname of an input path. This
 generates an absolute pathname with all symlinks resolved and all
 '.' and '..' characters removed. Many commands do not work well
 with relative paths or paths containing symlinks. Realpath
 resolves these absolute paths.
 Filebase- returns the base portion of a filename, that is the
 filename with its extension (e.g. .txt) removed. It returns
 everything preceeding the last period in the input string. The
 period itself is not returned.
 Fileext- returns the extension portion of a filename
 (e.g. txt). It returns everything following the last period in the
 input string. The period itself is not returned.
