What could be the purpose of this script?
As described in the script and manpage, it's to fix up a shadow link

Colin,
Never do this!
I just ran cleanlinks on my root directory; really stupid thing to do!
Lots of things were deleted which should not have been and I don't know
how long it will take to get things back working; only just restored ppp. Possibly a
new

Yeah, it probably should (I wrote it in a spare ten minutes or so some
months back). File a bug against xutils.
