[Matthias Bolte]

> * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add getcwd-lgpl.
> * tests/commandtest.c (checkoutput): Drop unused cwd.
> * tests/commandhelper.c (main): Let getcwd malloc.
> * tests/testutils.c (virTestMain): Likewise.
> * tools/virsh.c (cmdPwd): Likewise.
> (virshCmds): Expose cmdPwd and cmdCd on mingw.

Now you have created a memory leak (not a critical one, that's true),
because abs_srcdir can be malloc'ed and you missed to free it.

ACK, with that memory leak fixed.
