1 In theory, doing symlinks with distutils isn't a big deal, but
2 distutils.core.setup doesn't have the capability built in. (distutils.file_util
3 does, but it's not clear how to trigger that intuitively within setup().) So
4 for the changes to gentoolkit for 0.3, I vote we keep the ebuild dosyms, and
5 leave distutils out of the business of symlinks, to be revisited at a later
6 date. Agree?
