> I have implemented a ResourceProvider, which allows to create symlink nodes in the JCR repository. A symlink node has a sling:symlinkTarget property, which should contain a valid JCR path. JCR content from the sling:symlinkTarget path is then exposed below the symlink node.
> There is a mixin node type, sling:Symlink with a mandatory property sling:symlinkTarget and an optional property sling:overlayable. Additionally, there is a convenience node type, sling:SymlinkResource, which extends from sling:symlinkTarget and nt:unstructured.
> ResourceProvider instances are registered for existing symlinks when the bundle is started. Modifications are taken care of via JCR observation.
> To get started:
> * apply the attached patch to a trunk checkout
> * build and install the bundle 
> * create a symlink node, pointing to some existing content
> * access the symlink node e.g. via a browser
