on osx 10.2 symbolic links don't get resolved, when opening a file 
(link) from the finder, or with the open command. In my opinion thats 
not necessarilly a good reason to not resolve them in GNUstep. But, 
maybe thats just because I would like to use symlinks. In any case, 
I'd be curious to know if the behaviour has changed in 10.4.
