Add support for symlinks.

Does this mean minitar would support the ability to zip up the actual symlink itself (as currently it seems to follow the symlink?) If so this would be a wonderful feature. I'm actually using buildr (which uses minitar) and I'm packing up a zip that needs its actual symlinks preserved.

I believe that was the intention behind this ported issue.
