symlink files are created in a single step by symlink(2). It's
not a multi-step process in user-land code -- it's a single
call into the kernel.
Which also means the source for symlink is probably in the
kernel somewhere...
So, if I can't figure out a simple way of obtaining the
symlink's data before creating it, then I should be able to call
symlink() with an empty or placeholder string (i.e. ".") and
then rewrite its content later.
