OK, if you think so... I've now added a module 'readlink'
with a standalone lib/readlink.c and m4/readlink.m4, and
made 'xreadlink' depend on 'readlink'.
Other details, for Jim:
- I've chosen a filename lib/readlink.c, not lib/readlink-stub.c,
because that's the general naming scheme we use in gnulib, and
because some more tricky replacement could be used in this file
later (see the file io/readlink.c in libgw32c which is available
from http://sf.net/projects/gnuwin32),
- I've added #if checks to the contents of the file, even though
the file is AC_LIBOBJ'ed, because in some cases (relocatable
program's launcher) the file will be used unconditionally.
