Message:

This is a real, tested fix for the linking business. I've also
incorporated the link command into the manual page (and corrected
a minor typo in the EXAMPLES section).

This, along with [419] will need to be merged into 1.9 before
this can be closed out.

See #51

+The most common use of repository symlinks is to reconcile path differences
+between operatings systems. You can create freebsd/usr/local/etc/sudoers as
+a normal file. You can then create the link linux/etc/sudoers to point
+to the former file (in the freebsd module). This allows you to have a
+single copy of the file in different locations for different modules.
