What happened to the comment line ?
Should it go away or better stay ?

When we move the definition to a common file,
it is not 100% clear what MAXDEPTH is about,
and the comment is even more important, I think:

> +/* We allow "recursive" symbolic links. Only within reason, though. */
> +#define MAXDEPTH 5

On the other hand, if we find a better name for that definition,
we may skip the comment.

A first suggestion may be
#define MAXDEPTH_FOR_SYMLINKS 5
but other variants are possible.
