Attached is what i could come up with. It does not use zsh magic.
Could be zsh'ified though. ;) Personally i happy with the result.
Also attached is a shell script that creates a test env for sll().

I testet it as good as i could think of. Tell me what you think.

#f1# List symlinks in detail (more detailed version of 'readlink -f' and 'whence -s')
#
# Usage:
#
#      e.g.:   a -> b -> c -> d  ....
#
#      sll a
#
#      Note: limit for recursive symlinks on linux:
#            http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/fs/namei.c?id=refs/heads/master#l808
#            This limits recursive symlink follows to 8, while limiting
#            consecutive symlinks to 40.
#
# if given parameter with leading '=', lookup $PATH for parameter and resolve that
