I am the author of perforate. Well I rewritten it from scratch as the
original tool had some flaws.
It is very easy to add a option for symlinking. But there is a little
problem deciding which of the files should be the symlink and which the
original. With hardlinks this is not the problem as after hardlinking
the files together there is no different between them.

That would be the other way. finddup can print out the double files.
