Re: [1693].  Adding support for symlinks shouldn't be too hard;
a symlink is just an inode containing the link text.

Using hard links would be better, since you wouldn't have to use
disk pages to store the link target text; I don't know if mkproto
can handle that, either.

Another possibility is to include something in /.profile on the
ramdisk which creates the links at boot time.
