org-publish-cache-ctime-of-src tries (but does not always succeed) to
deal with symlinks: file-symlink-p returns the target as a string, but
if the target is relative to the symlink, that's not going to fly.
e.g. if c is a symlink like this

    /a/b/c->../d/f

then (file-symlink-p "/a/b/c") -> "../d/f"
but if the current directory is any place other than /a/b, the target
will not be found, the file attributes are going to be nil and
the function will blow up.

Here is a patch born of about 5 mins of contemplation. It solved my
immediate problem but it is certainly wrong. It breaks absolute targets
(which I think are handled correctly by the original version). I'm not
even sure that it correctly handles *all* relative targets. It also
needs to treat the case of a non-existent symlink target (where
file-symlink-p returns t).

It might be safer also to check if the file attributes are
nil and deal with that, instead of blowing up.
