I did make install from a build from source, yes, not least as there was
no binary distrib. available at that point. ;-)

Having created such links by hand, I can report that the install
script doesn't appear to thusly stomp. I guess it'd do so if it
changed the file contents, rather than the handle, but don't quote
me on the details of this, as I haven't investigated the details of
what the script does...
Either hard or symbolic is fine by me, mind you.
Cheers,
