READLINK(2) Linux Programmer's Manual READLINK(2)
NAME
readlink - read value of a symbolic link
SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h>
int readlink(const char *path, char *buf, size_t bufsiz);
DESCRIPTION
readlink places the contents of the symbolic link path in
the buffer buf, which has size bufsiz. readlink does not
append a NUL character to buf. It will truncate the con-
tents (to a length of bufsiz characters), in case the
buffer is too small to hold all of the contents.
I believe that the previous, incorrect behavior was discovered by
Egor Duda's test suite.

Cygwin 1.1.6 seems to have introduced a bug in readlink which stop
runemacs working correctly. This patch works around it by forcing a
trailing 0 after .exe.
