I think making the symlink should be handled outside the proper scope of
the top-level Makefile, for reasons I have brought up earlier in this
discussion; The Makefile is simply not equipped to know the full state of
the system it is being run for outside the simple case of one single
machine.


s/WHY is/For which specific reasons is/

Anyway, the associated discussions cleared up nearly all the
technical-related questions I had. The remaining questions relate toward
policy-issues orthogontal to implementation details. I am still a little
unclear on the nature of the problem this symlink is meant to solve.
