Giorgos Keramidas 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'.

Giorgos Keramidas 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.

Sheldon Hearn d71e172ac6 Add link(1) and unlink(1) as special cases of ln(1) and rm(1)

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.
