+ dnl Sadly, AC_PROG_LN_S is too restrictive.  It also tests whether links
+ dnl can be made to directories.  This is not relevant for our usage, and
+ dnl excludes some cases that work fine for us.  Eg MS Windows or files
+ dnl hosted on AFS, both examples where simple links work, but links to
+ dnl directories fail.  We use a cut-down version instead.

 +dnl AC_PROG_LN_S sets LN_S to 'cp -pR' for MinGW, on the premise that 'ln'
 +dnl doesn't support links to directories, as in "ln file dir".  But that
 +dnl use is non-portable, and OTOH MinGW wants to use hard links for Emacs
 +dnl executables at "make install" time.
 +dnl See http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2013-04/msg00475.html
 +dnl for more details.
