I've tried:
$ mkdir testdir
$ ln -s testdir link1
$ cd testdir
$ touch file
$ ln -s file link2
$ cd ..

Then tiny program which calls readlink("link1/link2") returns
'file'. As expected. But in order to get this result, readlink()
had to resolve 'link1' part in passed arg, somehow. My current
implementation doesn't.
