[lokisetup] symlink paths

[Clement Bourdarias]

Yes, you can look for which file (bin or link) was launched (you can look
at the PATH variable with getenv("PATH")), and then use the readlink()
function to see if it is a link, and in that case, get the path of the bin
it links to, and do a chdir to it.

If you want an example, you can look at the sources of the Anvil of
Thyrion  gtk launcher (I've put the interinsting file here:
http://icculus.org/~phneutre/launch_bin.c)

Hope that helps,
Clement.
