touch symbolic links

[Dan Schult <dschult harold colgate edu>]

I had a problem with dates when I first installed Linux on 
an XP1000.  The hardware clock was off by 48 years, and the
system kept getting reset to that time upon boot (as it should).
I have now fixed that problem based on a posting from Dec 1999
to this list.  Now I just need to correct all the files that
have been given dates in the future.

I hacked a bash script to touch the files with the corrected dates
but I can't touch the symbolic links.  

==============
Can someone explain how to change the timestamp on a symbolic link?   
==============

It seems like it has to be possible.  
If not, I may have to resort to recreating the links...
