o Turns out that rpm can be made to convert all symlinks to relative
ones transparently, so that's being experimented with first.
Bad idea; relative symlinks pointing to '../' will break when you are in
a symlinked directory.
E.g. 'ln -s ../passwd /etc/init.d/foo' points to /etc/rc.d/passwd, not
to /etc/passwd. It's an arbitrary example; a more realistic one might
be a symlink to /usr/libexec/some-init-wrapper.
