symlinks to files greater than 100 chars are silently not created during installation

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Report and fix from "paradox.kahn" in a google code comment to r543.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a package containing a symlink to a file with a long file name 
(longer than 100 characters)
2. Install the package

The attached .ipk contains a file with a long name and a symlink to that file.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The symlink should be created and point to the appropriate file. Instead, the 
symlink is not created at all.
