basesrc/usr.bin/xinstall: xinstall.c
Log Message:
Do not attempt to stat the source if we are dealing with a link. We
aren't going to do anything with the information anyway and there is
error checking later anyway.
We can now succeed in creating symlinks to locations that don't exist,
just as ln -s will let us do, and we can use install instead of ln -s
in several Makefiles. The code was written with the obvious intent to
let you do this but apparently it was never tested.
