the symlinks are working and they are _incredible_!
i can't tell you how happy i was to see it. it's working fast, it's working
right (as far as i can tell) and my radio project is thrilled!
for some reason, apache2 went berzerk on the radio's comp (running ubuntu)
and as soon as i sort that out (hopefully without reinstall the whole OS..),
i'll be able to test all of campcaster completely with the new symlink
solution.
