[issue1298813] sysmodule.c: realpath() is unsafe

It's a real shame the original patch was not applied before py3k was branched, the code is now different.

Antoine, my autoconf knowledge is limited, I don't know how you'd test for realpath accepting a NULL argument (and doing the right thing) at compile time.

My involvement with this bug is fairly limited at this point, I would like to see it fixed, but having seen no movement on it for almost 6 years now, maybe it's not as critical as I thought it was.
