Comment(by warner):

 I kinda think we should also be skipping symlinks in general (not just
 dangling ones). The {{{os.path.isdir}}} and {{{os.path.isfile}}} tests
 will return True for symlinks that point to directories and files. So if
 we want to skip symlinks, those tests need to turn into {{{if
 os.path.isdir() and not os.path.islink()}}}, etc.
