- It requires yet another autoconf test, AC_PROG_LN_S.
- It will fail in particular situations (e.g. on systems without
symlinks, LN_S="ln", which will fail if $srcdir and $builddir are
in different filesystems.
- HP-UX "make" does the wrong thing w.r.t. to modification times
of symlinks.
Enough reasons to just use "cp".
