Updates in the Gopher Server

I update the Gopher server... i found that PyGopherd didn't support symlinks
and this was something i really needed, to avoid duplicate files in my SDCard
of my little RPi.

I also found that there are differences between PyGopherD and BuckTooth, in
interpreting the Gopher protocol. The Gopher site was working just fine with
pygopherd but when i switched to bucktooth, it didn't show properly and text
links wouldn't work. The changes needed wasn't too much, but it was something
that i didn't expect.

BuckTooth also supports executable scripts, so expect to see some nifty things
around ;)
