  Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  This function is missing on some platforms:
  IRIX 6.5, Solaris 2.5.1, mingw, MSVC 9, BeOS.
  @item
  glibc has two different functions @code{basename}: the POSIX version and
  the GNU version.
  @item
  @code{basename} assumes file names in POSIX syntax; it does not work with file
  names in Windows syntax.
  @end itemize
  
  The Gnulib module @code{dirname} provides similar API, with function
  @code{base_name}, that also works with Windows file names.
