I went ahead and did this, except slightly differently...

lrwxr-xr-x  1 kkkken          6 Feb 26 16:06 vaxultbin -> vaxbin
lrwxr-xr-x  1 kkkken          6 Feb 26 16:06 vaxultetc -> vaxetc
lrwxr-xr-x  1 kkkken          6 Feb 26 16:06 vaxultlib -> vaxlib

I assume this is what you meant.  Change should be visible when the
volume is next released.  I'm not going to do this now, because there
may be some reason why I shouldn't have created these links, though I
can't imagine what it is.  I'll release it later tonight.
