Well, there are a lot of them, and I can't trust the names not to be odd
(spaces and quotes and ampersands, oh my), so:
find . -type l | while read F ; do
...
Actually, that form might not be OK with all of them, so I might have to go
with putting the "while" loop in a script and feeding it with "find . -type
l -print0 | xargs -0".
