Hmm...  We do need to tell somewhere what functions support symlinks,
though.  It doesn't have to be in wc204.txi; you can simply say that
all file-related Posix functions do that, and give a few examples.

As for the real list, it should probably be in the `symlink's .txh
file.  What worries me about this is that the list is crafted by hand,
so it can easily become outdated as the library is developed.

It would be nice to have some automated procedure that would grep the
sources for calls to __internal_readlink and generate a file which
symlink.txh could @include.

However, maybe it's too much for now: the list is not so long, I
think.
