IIRC, there's a read-in/write-out process to the scripts, so symlinks 
are probably broken before they get to blib/bin.  You probably want to 
(iff the filesystem supports symlinks) set script_files before calling 
SUPER, then recreate your symlinks in blib/bin.

Of course, I can't think of any reason why M::B shouldn't default to do 
that.  But I haven't checked whether ExtUtils::Install would play nice 
with that.
