[Scons-dev] New symlink copy support

[William Blevins]

Wow.  This is a pretty cool extension.

Now that I know what Jason is talking about with CCopy, I think it might
have been a better idea to use CCopy as the backbone for the default Copy
methodology (if licensing allowed), or is that overkill?

V/R,
William
