 Symlinks are symlinks and shouldn't be counted as an additional file.
 However, the way the WP code reads at the moment, the only thing that is
 checked in determining if a plugin should be listed is if it is actually a
 file (checks true as symlinks point to files) and if it is a directory,
 looks for the file one directory down.

 Proper behavior is to determine if the file is a file and that it is not a
 symbolic link.

 Patch attached for the 2.0 branch. Imagine it should go in 2.1 as well.
