It wasn't "how" to do it, but what it means.

If I go:

	ln -s =sh y
	chmod -h u+s y
	ls -la y

I get:

	lrws------  1 dave  user  7 Sep 16 10:00 y@ -> /bin/sh

Now, what does this mean?

Even if it means nothing at all (as I suspect it does), it would be
nice if this was documented, simply because it's disconcerting to see
an "s" there and not know if it does something :)
