- A bug with -S shows wrong results.

- A bug causes the following behavior:

  $ fdupes --symlinks testdir
  testdir/with spaces b
  testdir/with spaces a

  testdir/zero_b
  testdir/zero_a

  testdir/symlink_two
  testdir/twice_one

  $ cp testdir/two testdir/two_again
  $ fdupes --symlinks testdir
  testdir/two_again
  testdir/two
  testdir/twice_one
  testdir/symlink_two

  testdir/with spaces b
  testdir/with spaces a

  testdir/zero_b
  testdir/zero_a

  ** This is not the desired behavior. Likewise:

  $ fdupes testdir
  testdir/with spaces b
  testdir/with spaces a

  testdir/zero_b
  testdir/zero_a

  testdir/twice_one
  testdir/two

  $ fdupes --symlinks testdir
  testdir/with spaces b
  testdir/with spaces a

  testdir/zero_b
  testdir/zero_a

  testdir/symlink_two
  testdir/twice_one

- Don't assume that stat always works.

- Add partial checksumming where instead of MD5ing whole
  files we MD5 and compare every so many bytes, caching
  these partial results for subsequent comparisons.

- Option -R should not have to be separated from the rest,
  such that "fdupes -dR testdir", "fdupes -d -R testdir",
  "fdupes -Rd testdir", etc., all yield the same results.

- Add option to highlight or identify symlinked files (suggest
  using --classify to identify symlinks with @ suffix... when
  specified, files containing @ are listed using \@).

- Consider autodeletion option without user intervention.

- Consider option to match only to files in specific directory.

- Do a little commenting, to avoid rolling eyes and/or snickering.

- Fix problem where MD5 collisions will result in one of the
  files not being registered (causing it to be ignored).
