Problem with previous fix for fileutils-1.0/ln.c (+fix)

The diffs I sent regarding linking to directories had two problems
        * you could not make a symlink to a directory
        * when it said `%s is a directory' it printed the wrong name out
          (should have printed the `old' name instead of the `new')
So, here are diffs for my diffs...
