If anyone has ideas about how to do mlinks better with automake, I'm open to that. I've noticed that make uninstall doesn't know how to deal with them using this method, and LN_S doesn't include -f so if you make install a second time, it fails due to the link.
No, but `$(LN_S) -f' would be nice in the meantime.
It was unclear to me how portable this was; I've gone ahead and committed it as r166; perhaps we can find a better solution later if it becomes a problem (it would be nice if deinstall removed the symlinks, also). Robert N M Watson Computer Laboratory University of Cambridge
