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

[Max]

Christophe,

That sounds reasonable to me.  So a default setting of foillow with
options to set to foillow skip or follow fast.

Option could be named

$symlink_behavior = 'follow';

With documentation showing the two other possibilities, would be easy
enough to then just use $symlink_behavior in the code in place of the
current hard-coded key in DBfind's find() call.
