Hi Terry,
Thanks heaps for your very long and detailed answer about the
MAXSYMLINKS constant, and how to change it if we _really_ need to.
I'm still in the process of talking the person who has the actual
problem about whether we can somehow reduce the number of indirect
symbolic links: they work at a digital media company and have a
pretty staggering number of NFS-mounted drives, which is the reason
for the large number of symlink indirections.
Thanks also to Justin Walker, who seems to have his hand in
everything Darwin :)

If you have an already compiled program that depends on the value
for MAXSYMLINKS, rather than using the sysconf() interface as it
should, then that program is out of luck (sorry). Future programs
that need this value should use sysconf() to obtain it instead, so
that you can make the change you want to make here, and they will
continue to function correctly.
