[PATCH] Add option to operate on symbolic links for sys::fs::remove() and sys::fs::status()

[Rafael Espíndola]

For remove, I think we can always use lstat and change

if (!S_ISREG(buf.st_mode) && !S_ISDIR(buf.st_mode))

to

if (!S_ISREG(buf.st_mode) && !S_ISDIR(buf.st_mode) && !S_ISLNK(buf.st_mode))

no?
