I have read that the symlink does not work on every platform the same
and writing tests for this may be a waste of our time.  Copying the
file during install would do the same thing.  I agree with you that it
should be easier but my research has pointed to some small
inconsistencies with platforms and distros.

Tzafrir, I would like to thank you for your work on this.  I think we
are getting close and when I am done I would be happy to help review
the DAHDI manpages and help to make them all consistent (They already
look good).
