Patch to call dev.d scripts also with $SYMLINK

especially useful to set pam_console ownerships for e.g. /dev/cdrom, which is a symlink to the $DEVNAME.

Hm, this patch doesn't apply anymore. Care to redo it?

Why not just ask udevinfo for the symlinks pointing to the device node? That was the original idea, why we didn't put this in the dev.d/ environment.

[kay@pim ~]$ udevinfo -q symlink -n /dev/hdc
cdrom

Thanks,
Kay
