Don't know if this was some bug or what but with latest
CVS and PHP 4.2.0-dev it returns true if link exists (even
if the destination doesn't).

If the destination of a link is not found, is_link will return false.
Performing readlink on the link still returns the intended destination.
The link, regardless of whether the destination exists or not, is still
a link. Wouldn't it make more sense to have is_link return true, and
allow the user to then perform checks to see whether the destination is
valid?
