Note that "ln -s -f" will come down to two separate system calls as
well:

unlink();
symlink();

So you don't avoid the race condition; you're just making it a little
less likely at the cost of reduced portability.

Software suppliers are trying to make their software packages more
``user-friendly''. . . . Their best approach, so far, has been to
take all the old brochures, and stamp the words, ``user-friendly'' on
the cover. - Bill Gates
