[PAtCH] Purging symbolic links cfengine 2.0.1

[Bas van der Vlies]

There is a bug in cfengine 2.0.1 in the way symbolic links are
handled when the purge option is specified. If in the destination
dir there is a symbolic link (and this link is not in src) then this link
will be followed and will remove all the files where the link pointed to!!!
instead of deleting the link. If replaced the stat() function by the lstat()
function in the file image.c routine PurgeFiles() and this solved this 
error.
