Description

by simply replacing line 34 of libexec/hadoop-config.sh from:

export HADOOP_PREFIX=`dirname "$this"`/..

to

export HADOOP_PREFIX=$( cd "$config_bin/.."; pwd -P )

we can eliminate all the annoying 'bin/../' from the library paths and make the output of commands like ps a lot more readable. not to mention that OS would do just a bit less work as well. I can post a patch for it as well if it is needed
