ExecutorTest testcases fail due to symlinked executable to test (not in canonical form)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Following testcases fail in my specific environment:
ExecutorTest::testExecuteUnixLegalSystemCommand()
ExecutorTest::testExecuteUnixGoodWorkDirectory()
ExecutorTest::testExecuteUnixChainedParameter()

This is caused by executable to test ('/bin/sh') that here is a symlink to 
'bin/bash'. Therefore in DefaultExecutor::executeSystemCommandLonghand() 
comparison [if (strcmp($resolved, realpath($resolved)) != 0)] is evaluated to 
TRUE and an ExecutorException is thrown.

Having /bin/sh symlinked is a behavior to expect.

And as unit tests are supposed to test correctness/completeness of program code 
and *not* environment specifics, ExecutorTest should be fixed in regards to 
symlink awareness.

• Changed title: ExecutorTest testcases fail due to symlinked executable to test (not in canonical form)

I consider a "getResolvedSymlink($path)" function in file 
test/testresources/TestHelpers.php that in case of non-WIN OS will test for a 
symlink and resolve it. For any other cases is returned unmodified.

see attached patch!

All these issues must be dealt with before 1.0. New issues will be on a case by 
case basis as to whether we hold up 1.0 or not.
