Even though "mkproto" sounds like it will be useful as a utility to be
installed, it will not suffice for the building of the ramdisks for
the installation media. One of the problems is that it does not support
symbolic links, and this is one feature I use heavily on the media
because of lack of space. I do not want to increase the ramdisk size
because of the slow transfer rate of the image, so the best method to
solve the problem would be to add support for symlinks into mkproto.
