Summary: 'realpath' function missing from os.path

Initial Comment:
The 'realpath()' function does not appear when you import all functions:
from os.path import *
Looks like this due to the name 'realpath' being missing from the '__all__' list in
.../Python-2.2.2/Lib/posixpath.py
All the other functions appear normally.

Seems like a safe backport to me.  I can't imagine any code depending on 'realpath' being *missing* from the list 
functions.

 ntpath.py 1.54
 os2emxpath.py 1.9
 posixpath.py 1.57

I have a question about if this should be backported, so I'm
leaving this open for now.  I think it should be backported.
 It is an API change, but only to correct the bug. :-)
