Symlinks under /proc


Hi folks,

I've checked in a patch which adds symlink handling to /proc.  This
allows to align /proc more closely to Linux' implementation:

- /proc/self is now implmented as symlink to /proc/<curpid>
- /proc/<pid>/root is a symlink to the root dir of the process.
- /proc/<pid>/cwd is a symlink to the current working directory.
- /proc/<pid>/exe substitutes /proc/<pid>/exename and is a symlink
  to the processes application file.

I'm also planning to implement /proc/<pid>/fd/, a directory containing
symlinks pointing to the files opened by that process, like this:

  0 -> /dev/tty0
  1 -> /home/corinna/foo
  2 -> /dev/tty0

If somebody's interested to do that, feel free.


Corinna
