Log:
  ln(1): fix -F behavior
  
  When '-F' option is used, the target directory needs to be unlinked.
  Currently, the modified target ("target/source") is being unlinked, and
  since it doesn't yet exist, the original target isn't removed.
  This is fixed by skipping the block where target is modified to
  "target/source" when '-F' option is set.
  Hence, a symbolic link (with the same name as of the original target) to
  the source_file is produced.
  
  Update the test for ln(1) to reflect fix for option '-F'
