Hi Thomas,

If there were other messages for me, I might have missed them :(

The thing is that "cp 1/2 3/4/" and "ln 1/2 3/4/" have nothing
in common: in the "ln" case, it is equivalent to "cd 3/4 && ln 1/2 .".
Absolute paths are resolved from the destination, not from the
current directory.  So if I mean to "ln 1/2 3/4/" in the way cp
does, I need to "ln ../../1/2 3/4/".

This is the kind of things that Autoconf provides bullet proof :(
I don't know why there is the trailing "./", I guess it should
suffice to "cleanup" the directories first, i.e., removing things
like "./".
