 *
 * Most importantly, we want to get textual comparison of the result of the
 * readlink(2).  get_symlink() provides that---it returns the contents of
 * the symlink that gets written to a regular file to force the external tool
 * to compare the readlink(2) result as text, even on a filesystem that is
