Possible bug in NSFileManager

[e.sammer]

i've been using NSFileManager to do quite a bit of work. it seems that 
NSFileManager doesn't handle symlinks properly. i know that 
linkPath:toPath:handler: is not implemented (as seen in 
NSFileManager.m), but in copyFile: it does not respect symlinks at all. 
according to the MOSX docs (and in my MOSX tests) copyPath:toPath: 
should maintain a symlink. i've looked in the docs that talk about the 
differences between GS and MOSX / OpenStep and there's no mention of this.

is there a fundamental problem with symlinks that i'm not aware of? i 
know GS is meant to be portable and some systems do not support them, 
but there seems to be half of the implementation in place which leads me 
to believe it could just be an oversight.

any info or help would be much appreciated...
