Could we remove this part and let the while loop handle the first path component too? The only difference I see is if this code matches, we have a trailing slash, while the "while" loop does not have a trailing slash in wtpart.

This "+ 1" is to ignore '/', isn't it? If so we should not do if match is set 1 outside "while" loop.

All this new code looks long enough to be a separate function with a meaningful name. And we could travese through each path component in npath without wtpart (replacing '/' with '\0' to terminate the string temporarily for real_path()). But it's up to you. Whichever way is easier to read to you.
