Oh, hmph, I actually bothered to read the configure code this time...
So they are explicitly testing if links to directories work, which will
handle the AFS case as well. So if we are only interested in links to
_files_ (in the same directory) rather than directories as well, LN_S is
too strict for us. Looks like there is no existing autoconf test for
"portable link to a file within the same directory".
