Seeing as you seem able to write perfectly valid C++ code, you can
probably add the required lstat/readlink glue in cam_open_device()
yourself to support this, and submit a patch, right?  Most of Ken
and my time are spent dealing with more critical issues such as
additional device support, so we're really relying on the user
community to fix "minor anoyance" type bugs until all of the basic
functionality is in place.

Thanks,
Justin
