[Gambas-user] Concatenate two path strings

I have two strings representing a "base" path and a "relative" path, so
that, for instance
basepath = "/home/me/ahab/bhab" ' or sometimes "/home/me/ahab/bhab/"
relpath = "../../img/etc" ' or sometimes "img/etc" or "/img/etc" or
./img/etc" or anything else that the user has constructed the relative
path as
I know I can get a full path just by concatenting using &/ i.e.
fullpath = basepath &/ relpath
which seems to work but results often in a crazy looking path. Short of
manually parsing the basepath and relpath variables into some sort of
standard using a lot of ifs, is there a simple Gambas way of getting the
proper path string? I can't find one.
Or even a external call to something that could resolve this. Strangely
in all my years of using Gambas I have never had this need before.
