  Short answer: No.

  I thought I did, but when I went looking, I found other things.  One
was a tool to report on symlinks, and remove broken ones.  Another was
a tool to maintain a link farm, but it won't fix-up a mix of files and
links, it only creates an entire symlink farm (e.g., for working with
CDs).

  Using absolute symlinks may be appropriate, depending on what you're
trying to do.
