Thanks so much to Norbert and Richard. I solved my problem with this 
statement:

lastComponent = (*it).string();

As long as we are on the topic: How do I expand directory notations with 
dots? For instance, if my app is called like this:

myapp .

The dot should expand to `/home/ramon/src/development' or whatever.

I discovered that such construct is not expanded by the U*ix shell.

Have tried dirname() plus basename() but they don't work.

TIA,

-Ramon
