New symlinks

[Christopher Faylor]

I've finally taken the time to play with the new symlinks.  I like them!

However, I noticed that when I do this:

ln -s bar foo
cat foo.lnk

I get the contents of bar.

Should I?  Or should I get a "file not found"?  Or should I get
the contents of foo?

This is somewhat analogous to cygwin's behavior with .exe in some
situations but I'm not sure that we should ever expose the fact that a
symlink now has a .lnk extension to the user.

Comments?
