+ * chmod.c (change_file_mode): Add an argument to control how symbolic

+ (main, change_dir_mode): Reflect changed calling sequence.
+ Now symlinks listed on the command line are processed (they
+ were ignored before); the permissions of the dereferenced files are
+ changed. Symlinks encountered in recursive traversals are still
+ ignored. This makes GNU chmod act more like e.g. Sun's.

Major changes in release 3.9:
+* GNU chmod treats symlinks the same way other vendor's versions do.
+ Now symlinks listed on the command line are processed (they were
+ ignored before); the permissions of the dereferenced files are
+ changed. Symlinks encountered in recursive traversals are still
+ ignored. This makes GNU chmod act more like e.g. Sun's.
* configure uses config.h, so DEFS won't exceed preprocessor limits of
some compilers on the number of symbols defined via -D.
* ls and cp can handle mount points on more systems
