Installation of unmanaged files is/should not be made at
SymlinkProgram, but at InstallPackage and Compile. You don't want
unmanaged files to be re-copied every time you switch versions using
SymlinkProgram, for example.

Hard links are a bad idea for installation of unmanaged files, because
when you edit a file in the unmanaged location, it will modify the
files under Resources/ (this will "taint" the program, will break
signature verification and make it easy to get site-specific stuff
stored by accident in packages).
