Looking at sendDir() in backend/replication/basebackup.c, I notice that
the only places where it expects/allows symlinks are for pg_xlog and in
pg_tblspc.
Still, thanks to the example in basebackup.c, I've got most of a patch
that should follow any symlinks in PGDATA. I just need to test a little
more before I post it.
