A) The patch looks sane to me but I'm not currently in a position to test it.
(Anybody else want to take a look at this?)
B) If you're going to switch to install --hardlinks, shouldn't we just yank
"make install-hardlinks" and update "make help" to mention the new install
options? (Since this is a 1.1-only feature, I doubt it would have much
impact on people. But then I don't even know if anybody currently uses the
hardlinks option at all. Not sure what the advantage is. It'd be nice if
you could have different permissions on different hardlinks, so only certain
applets would have the suid bit in the first place, but alas...)
