I had understood why SYMLINK and COPYLINK couldn't be used at the same
time, I only wanted to know why COPYLINK was needed and why SYMLINK wasn't
enough. You just responded, thanks.
BTW, I've just committed a little modification to the Makefile, you separated
the APTTMP but you forgot to remove it in the bin-distclean target.
