Hi Aaron, such a feature would indeed be very welcome. However Amazon S3 has no concept of symbolic links - you will have to store them as objects, however in some way where it's easy to tell what the object represents (file, symlink, ...). Your approach should also be generic enough to allow for storing device nodes (minor and major numbers) and directories (ownership, mode).
Are you keen to work on that?
