Yes, in the first argument, but not in the second one

If you try to do "ln -s jaxp.html jaxp/jaxp.html" you will see that it doesn't
work; it will first enter the directory jaxp/ and then make a link to
jaxp.html with the same name jaxp.html
If you want to create a link to ./jaxp.html from the subdirectoy jaxp/, you
should write down another .symlinks file in jaxp/ with the following:
../jaxp.html jaxp.html
But looking at your classpathx repository, It seems to me that you have
switched the order of the arguments; your .symlinks says:
classpathx.html index.html
jaxp.html jaxp/index.html
When it should really say:
classpathx.html index.html
jaxp/index.html jaxp.html
(jaxp/index.html exists, but jaxp.html doesn't)
