symlinks in repo (ddmd->src) breaks Dropbox (or google drive)

https://github.com/dlang/dmd/commit/801742d93ecb6c929409a19c024dd87ca25330a3 introduced a symlink dmd repo; if a user clones it inside a Dropbox (or google drive) and syncs his dropbox to another machine, it will create havoc: * google drive doesn't support symlinks at all * dropbox supports it
