- They probably don't move very well, but they do move. And its somewhat
- annoying, if you have a directory with gcc and symlink cc -> gcc and try
- to move that to another partition. The plain file gcc gets moved (i.e.
- copied and unlinked) but the symlink not.
-
- Well, I'll probably have to get the mv sources and modify them a bit...
