Is it possible to use the FILES check to check is a file exists and is a

what I need to check is that a file inside the current live directory
exists and is a symlink.

The obvious answer would be a FILE check with "type=symlink", but alas
that hasn't been implemented.

A completely untested patch would be the following. Let me know if it
works.
