Get absolute URL of relative link?

Given a page's URL, and a URL in a link found inside it, how can I
resolve this link-URL to become an absolute URL?

function getAbsoluteUrl($baseurl, $relativeurl);

Examples:

Page: http://www.example.com/index.html
Link: /about.html
Result: http://www.example.com/about.html

Page: http://www.example.com/lang/german/
Link: ../lang/en/
Result: http://www.example.com/lang/en/

etc.

Anybody know how to write this function?
(I'm playing around with a spider.)
