Summary: os.utime() that works on symlinks?

Initial Comment:
I can query a symlink's timestamps with os.lstat(), but can't 
set them.  Any attempt to set the timestamps on a symlink is 
transparently redirected to the file it points to (which in this 
case is on a read-only partition, as is not what I want to do 
anyway).

Maybe os.lutime()?
