Jesper,
I searched for ln and only found:
ln src dst
that's hard not symbolic.
thus I corrected to ln -s src dst (which is soft).
I think we both agree that symbolic is better for this situation, but
some confusion or another was made :) because the spec only had
'ln src dst' (notoriously a -s was erased and two spaces were left).
I couldn't reach bugzilla.abisource.com to check the diffs (maybe a
problem with my isp or parsons), but I just made it go back to symbolic
links.
BTW, I think that that ln call was inherited and not written by me.
Hugs, rms
