> i need to buid archives ( tar for example ) with symbolic links
> the plugin build an archive with a file containing the destination of the
> link, not the link itself
> => the plugin need an option to know if deferencement of links is needed
> this is just like -h option of tar
> -h, --dereference
> don't dump symlinks; dump the files they point to
> actually, if you do an archive of /lib, for example, many file will be in
> double with différent names. extract of archive will not be the exactly the
> same as the source of the archive. => this is a test !
