Utility for flattening symlinks

[Bob Hilliard <hilliard@flinet.com>]

     Is there any utility available that will flatten symlinks
(replace the link with a copy of the symlink target)?

     Ideally it should flatten all symlinks recursively in a specified
directory except those pointing to a specified directory.
