Your commit is confusing. It makes it sound like we could use
_alpm_makepath from the frontend which is not true at all.

This commit should rather be :
remove makepath from the frontend because it is no longer used
(the code using it has probably moved to the backend and we have
_alpm_makepath there)

There are several other functions which are duplicated between backend
util.c and frontend util.c , but there is nothing we can do against
it.
