Meta-CVS supports symlinks. You can ``mcvs add'' a symlink under version
control, or use ``mcvs ln'' to create one.  You can move or rename them
with ``mcvs mv'' just like files, and likewise remove them with 
``mcvs rm''.  Symlinks appear, disappear, move or retarget as needed
when you fetch versions with ``mcvs up''.
