509	tools/dev/install_files.pl  did not care about symlinks	gerd	jkeenan	"By executing the command:

> make -n install DESTDIR=/home/<user>/<testdir>

you can see that the perl script ""tools/dev/install_files"" will be executed:

/usr/bin/perl tools/dev/install_files.pl \
    --buildprefix= \
    --prefix=/usr/local \
    --exec-prefix=/usr/local \
    --bindir=/usr/local/bin \
    --libdir=/usr/local/lib \
    --includedir=/usr/local/include \
    --destdir=/home/gz016/test \
    --docdir=/usr/local/share/doc \
    --versiondir=/parrot/1.0.0-devel \
    MANIFEST MANIFEST.generated

In the destination directory for example /home/gz016/test/local/lib
you can see that libparrot.so is not a symlink to libparrot.so.1.0.0
but in the build directory blib/lib it was.
To leave this as symlink is important for building rpms.
