 If your project file refers to resources by absolute path but the absolute
 path is formed by symlinks, the current code resolve them to a suboptimal
 ../../../../../looking/path.

 This patch uses QT library to "canonicalize" the absolute path prior to
 resolve against project dir.

 It is not tested under WIN.
 It would likely need canonicalization of the project filename too to be
 complete.
