sal wouldn't let me delete a softlink because it was a "directory", which was
real inconvenient. I suggest the soft links be treated as files, i.e. follow the
semantics of rm, e.g.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] devel]$ cd /tmp
[EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]$ mkdir pp
[EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]$ ln -s /tmp /tmp/oo
[EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]$ rm pp
rm: cannot remove `pp': Is a directory
[EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]$ rm oo
[EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]$ 

We can delete a soft-link without problem. One liner patch attached to enable 
this.
