My understanding is that it was added because with some FTP servers "ls foo"
fails to list the contents of the foo directory when foo is a symlink.
That is what I recall. I also recall that it always caused some
problems, but it was the lesser evil.
So I suggest we remove the symlink-following code from
ange-ftp-insert-directory, since it is otherwise harmful.
Ok, please do.
Thanks.
