This isn't going to cure the problem. You have hardlinks, symlinks, and
whatever abomination you can imagine with new filesystem on NT5, and
whatever you could have on other FSes. The problem is that you are trying
to use filename as an ID, while it isn't - you can have two different
filenames with one file (as for a file on Unix it's inode what is ID, not
a name), and different files with one package, and it would be still the
same package. Unless you explicitly mark is as a package (like Perl's
package keyword), you can't identify it, and no games with symlinks are
going to help. It would be just a kludge, which cures the symptoms,
keeping the disease intact.
