I'm sure there are utilities around that do this kind of thing, but I
don't know the name of any offhand.

You can get a good starting point from the mkMake script in
platforms/unix/misc/util.  This script goes through and figures out
which files override which, and ultimately does find complete lists of C
files.  It could be made to work for all files instead of just C files,
etc.


However, the Smalltalk idea is interesting.  How about modify the code
that did the copying from VMMaker, and have it run "ln -s" using
OSProcess instead of caling the file copier?

(Alternatively, you know, you can just hack the FileCopyPlugin to make
links instead of making copies.  :) )
