note this pr includes the commit to update steamkit because that's needed to fix symlinks; otherwise the symlink target is gibberish.

Do you have an example app/depot that I can use to verify this?

Unfortunately not. I was testing against Beatblock but you'd need to own the game.

I've looked at the top 70 free games on steam that support linux, and it seems none of them have a symlink, and that steam ratelimits adding free games to your inventory.

I have a friend who has a steam game that may be willing to add a linux version with a symlink, and then I could give you a key for that game. Would that work? You and I would be able to verify it but nobody else would.
