Subject: [gentoo-portage-dev] Patch: handle collision-protect for symlinks

1 The collision-protect feature didn't recognize two files as the same, if they
2 were symlinked.
3 i.e. /usr/FILE and /usr/X11R6/FILE caused a collision, while X11R6 -> . linked

5 This patch for portage-2.1 should fix this. Works fine for me in all thinkable
6 scenarios.
7 Can you please test and/or review it?
