/**
 * Creates, Deletes, Records and Restores Symlinks.
 *
 * <p> This task performs several related operations. In the most trivial
 * and default usage, it creates a link specified in the link attribute to
 * a resource specified in the resource attribute. The second usage of this
 * task is to traverse a directory structure specified by a fileset,
 * and write a properties file in each included directory describing the
 * links found in that directory. The third usage is to traverse a
 * directory structure specified by a fileset, looking for properties files
 * (also specified as included in the fileset) and recreate the links
 * that have been previously recorded for each directory. Finally, it can be
 * used to remove a symlink without deleting the associated resource.
 *
 * <p> Usage examples:
 *
 * <p> Make a link named "foo" to a resource named
 * "bar.foo" in subdir:
 * <pre>
 * <symlink link="${dir.top}/foo" resource="${dir.top}/subdir/bar.foo"/>
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p> Record all links in subdir and its descendants in files named
 * "dir.links":
 * <pre>
 * <symlink action="record" linkfilename="dir.links">
 *    <fileset dir="${dir.top}" includes="subdir/**" />
 * </symlink>
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p> Recreate the links recorded in the previous example:
 * <pre>
 * <symlink action="recreate">
 *    <fileset dir="${dir.top}" includes="subdir/**/dir.links" />
 * </symlink>
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p> Delete a link named "foo" to a resource named
 * "bar.foo" in subdir:
 * <pre>
 * <symlink action="delete" link="${dir.top}/foo"/>
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p><strong>LIMITATIONS:</strong> Because Java has no direct support for
 * handling symlinks this task divines them by comparing canonical and
 * absolute paths. On non-unix systems this may cause false positives.
 * Furthermore, any operating system on which the command
 * <code>ln -s link resource</code> is not a valid command on the command line
 * will not be able to use action="delete", action="single"
 * or action="recreate", but action="record" should still
 * work. Finally, the lack of support for symlinks in Java means that all links
 * are recorded as links to the <strong>canonical</strong> resource name.
 * Therefore the link: <code>link --> subdir/dir/../foo.bar</code> will be
 * recorded as <code>link=subdir/foo.bar</code> and restored as
 * <code>link --> subdir/foo.bar</code>.
