Hi Jon,

I am currently writing a program that uses automake and I would like
to create symlinks when the program is installed. Much like the way
busybox or git creates many symlinks that point to one binary, I would
like to do the same.

Is there a correct way to do this? I tried the following:

install-exec-hook:
        $(LN_S) -f foo $(bindir)/bar
        $(LN_S) -f foo $(bindir)/baz

Please see the Automake manual for a good example
