symbolic links (4.2)

[Glenn Widener]

   Believe it or not, I think I have found a good use for symbolic links
(a Berkeley 4.2 feature). However, the tools to support them are not very
complete.  For instance, I need to document all symbolic links with back
pointers to the link's parent directory.  Has anyone actually used
syumbolic links a lot, or developed any nifty tools for them?  Any horror
stories?  (I have heard there are bugs).
