# 3)  System Test
#
#     Given a list of directories, report any bogus symbolic links contained
#     anywhere in those subtrees.  A bogus symbolic link is one that cannot
#     be resolved because it points to a nonexistent or otherwise
#     unresolvable file.  Do *not* use an external find executable.
#     Directories may be very very deep.  Print a warning immediately if the
#     system you're running on doesn't support symbolic links.

# This implementation:
# - takes one optional argument, using the current directory as default
# - uses chdir to increase performance
# - sorts the names per directory
# - prints output lines of the form "path1 -> path2" as it goes
# - prints error messages about directories it can't list or chdir into
