[drraw-users] Suggestion: change follow=>1 to follow_fast=>1 to allow for symlinking of directories

[Christophe Kalt]

Sounds to me like the real choice given should be between follow_fast=>
and follow_skip=>1

The current behaviour isn't really useful, except may be to make people
aware of the choice they should be making.  So may be given a third
choice as default (follow=>1), that way people with duplicates will know
they have to choose something.

I do agree that a new configuration setting is desirable.
