Optionally ignore symlinks

I've got a project which has as many as 12000 files, but when add new files to the project, i couldn't search the new files(foo) anyway in the root directory, but i could search files in it's own directory. I've also tried let g:CommandTMaxFiles=40000, which count is much lager then 12000, but it was still not work. And then i deleted folder one by one, tried to find out which folder interrupt the search. happenly when I delete the symlink to linux kernel source, everything goes well. I found there are 70325 files in linux-source directory. and my new added files are behind the the source code, so that's why i couldn't find it.

any new added files behind linux-26, would not be found, when g:CommandTMaxFiles is not large enough.

I also need to ignore the symlinks. thks.

# find
......
./Makefile
./config.h
./.gitignore
./.vim-bookmarks
./Bookmark.vim
./mygen
./mygen/mygen.sh
./linux-26
./foo
./foo/0
./foo/1
./foo/2

Yeah, we can/should probably do this.

Given the big rewrite for v6.0.x, I'm closing all older issues as there is unlikely to be anything significant happening on the 5-x-devel branch from here on¹. Feedback issue for 6.0.x is here:

• #393
