All this just to avoid that symlink?
Oh, yes. And also to avoid the changes to the master Makefile,
and the extra stuff in the other Makefile. And you'd even rid
yourself of some #ifdef's in the actual code. Too many upsides!
What is so wrong with that?
We never required this kind of thing before, why now? Also note
that it requires all the extra stuff mentioned above ... why not do
away with all that too.
