Does not seem to support symlinks

[Floriferous]

If your config looks something like this:

resolve: {
    symlinks: false,
    alias: {
      sharedComponents: path.resolve(__dirname, 'src/sharedComponents/'),
    },
  }

Where sharedComponents is a symlink to another directory, the compilation fails if that folder is outside your current directory. The symlink is always resolved to its original location, where the code is not compiled.

The symlinks: false property should take care of this, but I believe it is ignored.
