I dont think that is what bapt/bdrewery had in mind, I think they wanted to
replicate the SYMLINK= as RSYMLINK= and use that when needed.

I have thought about this and we do not ever want absolute links in the tree,
so much simpler fix is to just convert SYMLINKS to call INSTALL_RSYMLINKS
instead of INSTALL_SYMLINKS and bam, its all fixed and shall always be fixed,
and as long as no one uses INSTALL_SYMLINKS.
