Summary: Pathname.realpath fails on non-existant path

Initial Comment:
$ ruby -w -r pathname -e 'puts Pathname.new(ARGV[0]).realpath'  /asdfasdf
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/pathname.rb:341:in `lstat': No such file or directory - /asdfasdf (Errno::ENOENT)
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/pathname.rb:341:in `realpath'
        from -e:1

other realpath implementations like readlink -f and FreeBSD realpath will just echo the path.
