Sure - you'll need to coordinate between src/dircolors.c to output a new
key/value pair in LS_COLORS, then in src/ls.c to recognize that value as a
new coloring scheme for symlinks.  There are also several existing tests
in tests/ls/* that can be used as starting points for developing a test
for your new feature.
