This patch seems to have broken M::B's 'disttest' action, because we 
don't have permission to write META.yml files.

I'm about to do a new beta release of 0.19_05, so I'll roll back this 
change for it - if you can figure out how to make it work properly 
again, I'll re-patch.  I agree that it's weird to make links, 
especially since links aren't really a cross-platform concept.
