Perhaps it is really, really simple:

         cat .symlinks | xargs ln -s

-----------------------------

  i can see that it's not a deep solution.  but since
that's the case, why did at least one person go to
the trouble of once writing a script to handle it?

  tell you what -- to avoid wasting any more 
bandwidth, let's do this.  if you off-hand happen to 
know of a pre-rolled script that's equivalent to the
aforementioned "symlinks", drop me a note offline
with a pointer and i'll be amused to see how similar
it is to the solution i already came up with.

  if you *don't* know of a pointer to such a script,
please don't waste any more time by telling me
that:

a) CVS doesn't handle symlinks, or
b) it's really, really simple

  in other words, if you don't know the answer to
my *actual* question, just hit 'delete' and keep moving.
fair?
