Option to ignore/skip symbolic links #116

Currently AntiDupl includes symbolic links in the deduplication. An option to ignore/skip symlinks would be great as symbolic links aren't actual files.

Seconding this, I've had matches on links and accidentally deleted the source image, meaning I no longer have a copy of that image anymore. Being able to ignore links would be great, because I create index folders with a sample image from each subfolder.

The alternative would be to add the ability to not scan a folder with a certain name pattern (in my case *.idx), but I think ignoring symlinks (and junctions, shortcuts, etc) would be safer and more useful.
