OK I got it.

rule make-absolute (paths * : root )
{
    local out = ;
    for p in $(paths)
    {
        local g = [ path.root [ path.make $(p) $(root) ] ] ;
        g = [ regex.replace $(g) "\\\\" / ] ;
        g = [ regex.split $(g) / ] ;
        g = [ path.join $(g) ] ;
        g = [ path.native $(g) ] ;
        out += $(out) ;
    }
    return $(out);
} 

Whew!
