7e6cabd06e Renumber copyright clause 4
Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

afad68b5dc 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.

fd86b4a48c 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.

61c79b122e 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.
