Not for 2.6.7, no.  I might do this for an eventual 2.6.8, but I won't be
making that version just for this; there'd have to be other changes first.

symbolic links in default-config/Makefile.am

Hi folks,

default-config/Makefile.am says

install-data-hook:
cp -r $(srcdir)/images $(inst_location)
ln -sf $(inst_location)/FvwmScript-DateTime $(inst_location)/..
ln -sf $(inst_location)/FvwmScript-ConfirmQuit $(inst_location)/..
ln -sf $(inst_location)/FvwmScript-ConfirmCopyConfig $(inst_location)/..

Since inst_location is an absolute path this makes the fvwm installdir
non-relocatable. Do you think this could be fixed, e.g. by using hard
links instead?


Thanx in advance
