Still, I think your point is valid.  I'd prefer to add one or more new
fields to represent this information.  As I mentioned earlier, show-link
is being changed as part of Clearview to use a different format (see
section 4.1 of http://opensolaris.org/os/project/clearview/uv-design.pdf).
Depending on how useful the information is, we could either make it part
of the default output or a field that could be selected with -o.
