No problem! We all get busy with real life! :-)

Yes. The fact is that I tend to be conservative with respect to the
needed tools. For example, I know for sure that readlink from GNU
coreutils does work. I know that there are other variants (the first
to come to mind is busybox, which does not have support for -m).

On the other hand, I do not have the same system as yours (Mac OS-X
and/or *BSD) and I can not test there. Because I *knew* there woould be
issues on those systems, I may have been too conservative when checking.

If what we require is described in POSIX [1] then no need to check.
If it is not, or is known to behave differently, then we have to check.

Please, re-spin your patches when you are statisfied with them. I'll
work with that.

Yann E. MORIN.
