- create symlinks instead of hardlinks when installing (hardlinks get

Isn't that a bug in the copying code?
I guess it is. Didn't know until now that cp can preserve hard links
also. I thought when the man page says "links" it was about soft links.
Well it doesn't matter so much, because the makefile creates most of the
tools with links, but not all of them. It uses install for some, which
doesn't preserve links and has no option to do so (just checked to be
sure). So even if we could teach every tool involved to preserve links,
we would end up with a blown up package again.
