When I ran a Smartlist installation in a former life, it did a similar
thing, only it used hardlinks to accomplish the task.

Is there any wisdom in doing one over the other? I don't recall why
smartlist used hardlinks, though something makes me wonder if it wasn't to
satisfy anti-symlink sanity checks, e.g. in procmail.

calculation and decided on symlinks =)
