title: Powershell: resolve path that might not exist?
body: <p>I'm trying to process a list of files that may or may not be up to date and may or may not yet exist.  In doing so, I need to resolve the full path of an item, even though the item may be specified with relative paths.  However, <code>Resolve-Path</code> prints and error when used with a non-existant file.</p>
  
  <p>For example, <strong>What's the simplest, cleanest way to resolve <code>".\newdir\newfile.txt"</code> to <code>"C:\Current\Working\Directory\newdir\newfile.txt"</code> in Powershell</strong>?</p>
  
  <p>Note that <code>System.IO.Path</code>'s static method use with the <em>process's</em> working directory - which isn't the powershell current location.</p>
