Acutally, I'm building it on NTFS and the symlinks get created
correctly, but then I move them around a bit for the InstallShield
installation. Of course they don't get updated for the correct
directory and I'm not going to recreate the 100s of symlinks by hand
within Installshield.
As for my comment about X servers not following symlinks, this is the
server on NT only that I'm referring. On Windows, the symlink
extension ends in .lnk so they might open if I filtered on that, but
I know you can't double click on symlinks to folders within the file
dialog boxes--they're not recognized as folders.

Hi David,
|1. "ln -sf" is a problem on Windows/Intel since most X-servers can't
|follow links (hard linking is not the answer either). I propose to
|make an env variable for this function that allows one to override it
|at configure with a cp instead.
FAT/FAT32 doesn't support symlinks/hard links, so the solution makes sense,
but I'm curious about X servers not following links (is this PC X servers
and NTFS junctions, or are we talking UNIX here?).
