Really? It does in my directories (on Linux, admitedly).

I assume you mean "not excluded", or it wouldn't make any sense at
all.
dkaufman> The Makefiles in the directories of excluded algorithms are
dkaufman> never run, so the test and header files are not linked when
dkaufman> "make links" is run. The link section of Makefile reads "for
dkaufman> i in $(DIRS)", but the directories of excluded algorithms

I suppose the really sensible thing would then be to check all the
files that are supposed to be soft links and see if they are 0 bytes
small, and remove them if they are. This could be done in
Makefile.org
