* Fix installation of symlinks in data/ dir (LP: #770566):
- test/auto.py: Add test for installing a symlink which points to a
nonexisting target directory/file. This reproduces the gist of the
problem.
- test/auto.py: Preserve symlinks in copytree() calls, so that we can
actually verify that symlinks are preserved properly.
- test/auto.py: Drop requirement that diff throws no error messages, as it
will complain about the broken symlink.
- DistUtilsExtra/auto.py, install_auto: Use os.walk() instead of
distutils.filelist.findall() to pick out symlinks, as the latter fails
badly with broken symlinks.
- DistUtilsExtra/command/build_icons.py: Ignore symbolic links. distutils
breaks on them when they point to a nonexisting target, and we handle
them in auto.py.
- backport,
