CW 9.1 seems to be broken in regard to symbolic links, at least in the
case where the links relate to directories. Although the access paths
look OK in the project settings panel, the compiler does not seem to be
able to find header files in linked directories.

I have experimented with making the symbolic links refer to absolute
rather than relative paths but this does not help.

From what I remember this has always been broken in CW, but I'm a
little surprised that it's still broken in 9.1 - after all, OS X has
been out for a few years now, and this seems like functionality that a
lot of developers might like to use.

Please submit this as a bug and I will too, While it is probably a
feature request if enough people complain it will get a bug priority.

Well, after going to the trouble of submitting a bug report I got the
following "boiler plate" reply, which makes me think that noone even
bothered to read or think about the actual bug report:

I'll check on this, it does not seem like a correct response, but it may
have just been an intermediate response.
