#!/usr/bin/env python

# Create a symlink build tree like the old X11 project "lndir" program.
#
# Reason for this is simple: synthesizing the Alpha RTL code takes a
# looong time, so we don't want to do it unnecessarily, but we also
# don't want to include all of the intermediate files from the
# synthesis in the source tarball.  So we symlink a shadow build tree
# off to the side, do the synthesis there.
#
# We could construct this symlink tree by hand, but that's fragile, so
# we'd probably write a script to do it anyway, so we might as well
# just use the script to build the shadow tree and have done with it.
