Do not depend on readlink(1) or -q
Solaris 10 lacks readlink(1). Additionally, its different grep(1) and
diff(1) do not take a `-q` flag.
Use a Perl one-liner instead of readlink(1) which is missing on Solaris 10.
Also because /usr/bin/grep and diff(1) don't understand the `-q` option, make
them go quiet by redirecting stdout to `/dev/null` instead.
The Perl dependency only exists in the test suite, so it does not incur
a runtime penalty for end users.
This is to work around the fact that readlink(1) is missing on Solaris.
The tradeoff is: on Solaris, installing third-party software (readlink)
is a pain, whereas on e.g. FreeBSD installing third-party software
(Perl) is simple and common.
