Not Following Symlink CWD

[jvanalst]

Hi,

I don't know if this is intended or not, but it's causing my issues because on Mac OS /tmp is a symbolic link to /private/tmp. On most Unix-y OSs and in AWS Lambdas it is just a regular directory.

The problem comes from mkdir.js:72, or thereabouts where the check for a directory does an fs.lstat (which treats a symlink as a file) instead of an fs.stat (which treats it as a directory).

Just wondering if there's a good reason for preferring lstat to stat? Just curious really, since it's mildly inconvenient (yes I know I should probably use os.tmpdir()).

I've run into the same problem when using npm link with a package that downloads a binary straight into its own directory (which is a symlink because of npm link). Have created #214 to fix it.
