And I think we probably still are.  I was trying to capture the concerns
there in the part of my message you trimmed.


My rationale is that I don't think we want to work around an upstream
build system or repack sources just because it has hard links.  On the
other hand I also don't think we want to depend on hard links being
preserved.
