Because of the way we load our configuration files and the need to handle
more than one service directory, you can only use symlinks in service
directories to other services in the same directory.
You cannot symlink to a service in a different directory even if it is
another service directory.

is_older_than should return 0 on success.
Instead we return 1 to be compliant with Gentoo baselayout.
Users are encouraged to use the is_newer_than function which returns correctly.
