Speaking of which, is there a way to have symlinks copied ? Let me use
ion-devel as an example: the "theme" configuration file, draw.conf, is a
symlink to one of the proposed theme. I put draw.conf in CONF_FILES to
have something copied, but I get a plain file, not a symlink.

If the -R flag of cp is standardized, something like the following could
work. Is it a bad idea ? (It is a bad fix, but maybe we could test more
than just the existence of ${samplefile}).
