Pulled into the e2fsprogs tree, with the following change:
[ Changed by tytso to remove the explicit -s option; this will
default to creating a hard link by default, which slightly faster.
If people want to use symlinks for all links during the install
process, they can use configure option --enable-symlink-install.
The reason for this change is that some file systems, like AFS,
don't support symlinks, and AFS users complain when they can't build
or install into AFS. So I don't want to use symlinks
unconditionally without a way of switching things back and forth,
and it's easier if we just make all links made during the install
process to be hard links or sym links. ]
