tool hacking: script to generate/check symlinks for CVS

[Glew, Andy]

I've got lots of symlinks in a directory.
I want to version control them.
CVS doesn't handle that.

So, I want to roll my own:

A script that takes a file of
(name,symlink-text) pairs,
and
(a) checks
        (a.1) warns if any filename
                in the file
                has a different symlink value
        (a.2) warns if any filename in the file
                doesn't exist
        (a.3) warns if any symlink
                in the present directory
                is not in the file
(b) generates
        - optionally removes any existing filename
        and traces symlink with the symlink value
        specified by the file.


I'm sure that somebody has already sit written something like this.
Care to share?
