How should I detect if a file is a symbolic link in Posix?  If I were writing
C, I could do it by lstat'ing, looking at the
mode_t value in the result, and comparing it with S_IFLNK.  Or at
least I could on Sparc/Solaris.  But the Posix encapsulation doesn't
provide a FileMode value corresponding to S_IFLNK.
