I have tried various functions from filesystem.c/h
without any luck.

As an example get_persdatafile_dir() in addr_resolv.c
returns an empty string.
That's not supposed to unconditionally return the current working directory. It's supposed to return "the (default) directory in which personal data is stored".
On UN*X, that's the current directory; it returns an empty string, as, in the places where that routine is *currently* used, that's probably sufficient. On Windows, it returns the "My Documents" folder for the user, unless it's running as a U3 portable application, in which case it returns the appropriate directory on the U3 thumb drive. 

What are you trying to do here?
