Hmm, what's the benefit of having symlink_status() and status() ?
Wouldn't one function suffice that sets the symlink flag when a symlink
is encoutered on the way. I.e.
symlink_flag | directory_flag
identifies a symlink pointing to a directory
symlink_flag | not_found_flag
identifies a symlink pointing to a non existing file/dir
and so on ...
