This release has a goal of trying to be backwards compatabile as much as
possible with the previous release; because of this, you're going to find
lots of symlink farms which are explicitly referenced by anything on the
packs anymore. This is so that people who have referenced files by explicit
pathnames in the past (for whatever reason) won't be affected in this
release. However, these links will be disappearing in a future release.
