from ebuild-helpers/doins:
_doins() {
    local mysrc="$1" mydir="$2" cleanup="" rval

    if [ -L "$mysrc" ] ; then
        cp "$mysrc" "$TMP/2"
        mysrc="$TMP/2/${mysrc##*/}"
        cleanup=${mysrc}
    fi
[...]
seems like it's copying the target of the symlink.

It completely depends on whether people agree that every USE flag should
be stated in IUSE or not.

Well, I think I want "-r" then.
