   Does this resolve symbolic links? (I don’t think that is proper behaviour, if so)

   I don’t think boost::filesystem::system_complete does that. This commit changes the behaviour back to what it was before ee12c3d60c4 (except that the suggested bitcoin.conf file in case of a missing rpcpassword now has the correct file path).

   This breaks the UI build :-)

   (There’s also a call to ReadConfigFile there that assumes that the result is a bool).
