Problem
Suppose I have a link that points to another link that points to another link, etc. way down the line. I'm not sure how many levels of links there are. What's the slick command line way to see the ultimate target of all these links?

Fix for: How to see the end of a long chain of symbolic links
Low Risk
Some versions of support the option to follow the chain to the end. The one on my Debian box does. The one on my Mac OS box does not (but then, it is overridden by one supplied by fink which does).
