>> E.g. (equal (file-attributes file1) (file-attributes file2))?

> We need at least the `file-truename' call. 

> (equal (file-attributes (file-truename (expand-file-name file1)))
>        (file-attributes (file-truename (expand-file-name file2))))))

Why??!?!

> We could also add already the check for the file name handler.
