When you say "shows more entries"... in theory it's listing the same entries,
it's just some of them are in error messages and some are in output. If that's
correct, I can suppress the error messages and just show the files for ls, and
show the ??? version for ls -l.

Hmmm...

Ok, I took at swing at this. Hit a minor asethetic design issue: symlink colors
are funky. I have "link is always light blue, but destination is red if it's not
there, and the color of whatever it is when something's there".

But the gnu/dammit version has the link name red when it's a broken link, which
comes up here because a link it can't readlink() stat is red (even when it
points to something).

This seems odd to me (the _link_ didn't change when it breaks or unbreaks, what
it points to did), but if you care I can implement that?

Anyway, just pushed a first stab at making it suck less obviously.
