Patch: Symlinks of missing files fail on FAT |

Hello all...
[ I am not subscribed to this mailing list, so please explicitly reply to
me if you need my attention... ]
I noticed this morning that if I am using linux on a FAT partition, and
run automake --add-missing, then the symlink operation fails for obvious
reasons. There is a comment in the automake perl script that a copy should
be attempted after failure, but this doesn't happen. The attached patch
corrects this.
The ChangeLog entry, should this patch be worthy, is something along the
lines of:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
2002-08-20 Michael Still <address@hidden>
* If adding a missing file fails, attempt a cp instead
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am not sure if this patch is big enough to need a copyright assignment.
As this is my first patch to Automake, I would be interested in people
providing feedback to me if that have any (about style, why this patch is
hideous, etc).
Thanks for your attention,
Mikal
