Thanks (and thanks for testing it). See comments below...

Hmmm. If the goal is to check for symlinks, not just specialness, maybe
it would be a good idea to check that the contents of the special file
begins with "link:", indicating a symlink? There may be other kinds of
special files in the future...

Hmm, then again, it's highly likely that future kinds of special files
would want the same treatment anyway. So I've just adjusted the comment
a bit to talk about that; I'm running 'make check' now (paranoia, I know
you already did it) and will commit soon.

Thank you!
