Comment(by ckeen):

 Chicken 4.5.0's find-files follows symlinks by default, so the current
 behaviour is "correct" with respect to keeping backwards compatibility.

 On the other hand this will not work for the simple version of the current
 find-file implementation. My recommendation is to remove the deprecated
 code path and carry on with life. Everyone will be happy again.

 Also note that even in the current implementation the default is to follow
 symlinks.
