80a0e9b5f5 Allow creating hard links to symlinks using ln(1).
This implements the POSIX.1-2008 -L and -P flags.

The default remains to create hard links to the target of symlinks.

d605a06c6e Unbreak last commit to ln for amd64.
Cast string precision to `int'.  amd64 systems warn about the
field precision being `long int' if we don't, and pathnames are
normally short enough to fit in an `int'.

3595f21aae Add a -w warning flag to ln(1). When the -w option is enabled,
ln(1) checks to see if the source of a symlink, i.e. the file it
should point to actually exists.  The default is the old ln
behavior, that does not check, to avoid surprising people who may
be using ln(1) in scripts or other non-interactive places.

46251dde8f o __P has been reoved
o Old-style K&R declarations have been converted to new C89 style
o register has been removed
o prototype for main() has been removed (gcc3 makes it an error)
o int main(int argc, char *argv[]) is the preferred main definition.
o Attempt to not break style(9) conformance for declarations more than
  they already are.

d71e172ac6 Add link(1) and unlink(1) as special cases of ln(1) and rm(1)
respectively, in accordance with SUSv2.

This differs from the approach taken in NetBSD, but provides
less obscure error messages in at least the EISDIR case and
does not take up additional disk space for new binaries.

7d4b6187df Nuke the undocumented -F flag, since it doesn't do anything anymore.
It used to allow root to hard-link directories (and screw up programs that
expexted the ".." entry to point to the parent dir)

9195f40982 Use lstat() instead of stat() for checking if the final source file exists,
so that `ln -fs' works when the source is a symlink pointing to a non-
