[vbox-dev] Patch for symlink support

[Brian Campbell]

Hi,

I've written the attached patch to add symlink support for shared folders
between linux guests and posix host systems.  It should be compatible with
other systems (although I've only got linux here to test it on), and there's
an option in the guest's kernel module to turn it off if the old behaviour
is needed.

The patch is MIT licensed, and made against the current subversion revision
(33179).

Cheers,

  Brian
