I want to make it so every file is a seperate symlink in dir2 if and

the file is unchanged then use symlink but I can rm the symlink and
replace it with a non-symlink:
cpio -pdl
Ack! Too quick to answer. That hard links, not symlinks. (Useful in its
own way though.)
cd $SRCDIR; find . -type d | cpio -pd $DESTDIR
will create the directory structure. Linking the files will have to be
left as an exercise for the reader as I have to go out. I'd use find for
the job, but I'm sure someone will come up with some Perl.
