There are a few times that I've wished I could make directory hardlinks.  In
most of these instances a soft link was good enough, however not always.

When managing jails I like to put services in their own /services/xxx
subdir, as well as under their respective /jails/host/services/xxx.  I
then I can blow away the jail, or do a destructive upgrade without
having to worry about restoring the service related data other than
making another link.  Soft links don't work because of chroot.
