I need to look at histograms inside a ROOT file, but all the old ways for doing this no longer work. (in theory I can scp the ROOT file to
the computer I am sitting in front of, but this assumes I have a working ROOT there. anyhow it is pointless to fight this, all modern
packages are written to only work on the developer's laptop).

I was working on an odb corruption crash inside db_delete_key() and I noticed
that I did not test db_delete_key() with follow_links set to TRUE. Then I noticed
that nobody nowhere seems to use db_delete_key() with follow_links set to TRUE.

I would handle this actually like symbolic links are handled under linux. If you delete a symbolic link, the link gets
detected and NOT the file the link is pointing to.
