That's a good idea - in fact it's a great idea on platforms that have symlinks 
:-)

The reason the current implementation is different is that some platforms
don't have symlinks ;-)

The current implementation gets almost exactly the same result but without using
symlinks - it uses a tiny wrapper script instead, so it is more portable.  If 
you 
look at the 'debugapp' script you'll immediately see what I mean.  It's 
probably 
a few milliseconds slower than symlinks (if available) but if you really need 
these milliseconds you can always use 'openapp --debug' to skip the wrapper 
script.  
Most people won't notice any difference. ;-)

Thanks
