Thanks for the tip. However, our very simple xxe Bourne shell script is 
not meant to be specific to Linux and and on other Unix-like system 
(e.g. Mac OS X), I'm not sure that you'll find the readlink and xargs 
commands.

PS: Despite the fact that I use Unix systems since 1985 (my first Unix 
machine was a ``workstation'' called a Rigde), I never liked the Unix 
habit to copy (or symlink) application files to /usr/bin/, /usr/lib/, 
etc. I'm much prefer applications to be self-contained (like this is the 
case on Mac OS X) even if this implies having a gigantic PATH 
environment variable.
