Thanks for this addition!

Prompted by the folks at OTP, I took a look at your patch and revised it 
slightly in the manner described in the commit message.

The --fullpath option to dialyzer can now be included in OTP.
The patch can be fetched by:

   git fetch git://github.com/kostis/otp.git dialyzer-fullpath
