Python question

Hello

I am writing a regression test involving 'svn status' and symbolic
links in the working copy. I'm using os.symlink and I assume this
won't work on Windows, so the the test is skipped:

       Skip(status_type_change_to_link, (os.name != 'posix')),

The problem I am having is the function chmod_tree in svntest/main.py.
This gets run at the start of the test as part of removing any old
working copy from a previous run. It doesn't work when it encounters
symbolic links that point to items that don't exist. So far the only
way I can make this work is

Index: ../svn/subversion/tests/clients/cmdline/svntest/main.py

+ except OSError:

   os.path.walk(path, visit, (mode, mask))
 
 # For clearing away working copies

Anyone got any better ideas?
