Subject: [PATCH] Fix brew if it's symlinked from elsewhere

Follow symlinks when trying to find HOMEBREW_RUBYLIB.

Signed-off-by: Max Howell <max@methylblue.com>

This is now supported usage, it wasn't before. I amended the patch quite heavily because it broke our other supported usage, ie. complete symlinking of Homebrew into /usr/local
