799	Configure should explicitly check for symbolic link capability on Linux	Austin_Hastings		"I'm running linux for Parrot work, but the underlying filesystem is NTFS, mounted r/w. This means that Configure.pl will detect my system as being linux, but it also means that symlinks don't work in the build area (ironically, they DO work in /usr/**, but not in /home/austin/parrot).
 
When evaluating capabilities, Configure.pl should check to ensure that symlinks work. Presently, the build fails when trying to link a versioned .so to an unversioned on inside blib/lib. (I work around this by cp'ing it, and restart the make.)"	bug	new	minor		configure	1.3.0	medium		ntfs symbolic links				linux
