Early versions of the file system API used a boolean parameter to
indicate if symbolic links should be followed or not. These methods has
long been changed to use LinkOption and the varargs syntax. There is one
remaining method in the API that still uses a boolean and I'd like to
get this cleaned up before the doors close on jdk7. The method is
Path.toRealPath where the parameter indicates if symbolic links are
resolved or not. The webrev with the proposal is here:

(Sherman - I've included an updated to the zip provider as it is
impacted by this change).
