I wasn't patient enough to follow your various realpath(1) examples, so I've snipped them, but as you say the tool isn't important. It seems to me that you could just use find(1) to list your files. But I know you know that, so ... it must not be that simple :-) If there's more than the tree above, please lay out a fuller structure. Please also point out where you want to be (perhaps multiple places?) and the result you want to see that you carefully construct manually so that we can back into the engineering :-) And, just because I'm curious, I wonder why you specifically want relative paths rather than absolute paths, which certainly keep life simple...
