Whoops - that doesn't do it either. If I have this:
/foo -> /usr/bar
/usr/bar -> /usr1/bar
Then realpath or _resolve_link both return "/usr1/bar" when given "/foo"
(when what I want is "/usr/bar"). There is obviously some underlying
OS support to do this (in this case FreeBSD 4.x) because 'ls' shows
things as I prefer them - i.e. Links are shown as assigned not how they
actually resolve...
