follow symlinks to find the executable #2

The README suggests you can symlink the executable into your path, but it doesn't work. This patch follows symlinks until it finds the real executable.

Hm, what OS are you on? It works fine for me on Linux 4.1

How about using std::fs::canonicalize instead? Unstable, but seems cleaner if it works.

OSX 10.9.5 here.

I changed it to use fs::canonicalize.
