this is done in the lua code and taco and i spent quit esome time
experimenting with this; our filosophy is to hard code as less as
possible and let lud du the work unless this is not possible; here we
have a border case with these symlinks; an option would to add functions
that provide info about the symlink, but then, we don;t wan tto add too
many functions to the core; hoever in this case it may be that we need
to let the binary provide info about the path where the binary resides
(also because it may be a bit playform depedent)
(btw, the lua code is in luat-inp but merged into mtxrun and luatools so
that these scripts can operate independent of libraries, because
otherwise we can have another chicken or egg problem)
at some point part of the interface in luat-inp will be public i.e.
users can use it themselves, but first i need to clean up that code
