error calling: "symlink" in "GLOBAL"

error calling: "symlink" in "GLOBAL"
When you do "killall -1 devfsd" to reload the config you often see errors
such as the above. These are because of "CFUNCTION GLOBAL symlink" events
trying to create the link a second time.
I have attached a patch that fixes this issue. It has special case code for
"GLOBAL symlink" which calls an internal function instead of the libc
function (to preserve config file compatibility). This function does the
usual symlink operation but gives no error message when the link as desired
is already there (if you ask for "symlink $devname modem" and there is
already a symlink /dev/modem pointing at /dev/$devname then it's not an error
IMHO). When there is a real error it gives slightly more information.
Richard, please consider this for inclusion in the main tree.
