I thought the magic cookie (!<symlink>target) symlinks were deprecated. Currently, "ln -s" makes "special" .lnk shortcuts; I think setup should do the same -- there should be no difference between the following scenarios: 1) install the "official" foo package using setup 2) download foo-src and do a "make install" In both cases, any symlinks created should be the same -- and that means .lnk. (Currently, it *appears* that this is not the case: 2) creates .lnk symlinks, but 1) makes magic cookie symlinks) --Chuck
