The readlink utility when invoked with the pathname of a symbolic link as
its argument dereferences the symbolic link and prints the name of target
on standard output.  If readlink is invoked with an argument other than
the pathname of a symbolic link, it exits with a nonzero exit code with-
out printing anything.

In other words, this is a command-line interface to the readlink(2)
system call.

- Add --no-same-permissions to the EXTRACT_AFTER_ARGS command.

Tijl Coosemans has been reported an issue that when root is extracting from the
tarball, and the tarball contains world writable files
(sysutils/policykit as an example), there is a chance that the files
gets changed by malicious third parties right after the extraction,
which makes it possible to inject code into the package thus compromise
the system.
