absolute symbolic links left in "make install"

[zimmerma]

Another problem reported by Emmanuel Thome: the following symbolic links are absolute with respect to the build directory of SAGE, thus won't work any more after "make install":

$ find sage-2.8.13/ | while read f ; do [ -h "$f" ] && [ ! \
-e "$f" ] && ls -l "$f" ; done
lrwxrwxrwx 1 zimmerma spaces 41 2007-11-22 11:03 sage-2.8.13/sage/local/bin/bzc\
mp -> /tmp/sage-2.8.13/spkg/../local/bin/bzdiff
lrwxrwxrwx 1 zimmerma spaces 41 2007-11-22 11:03 sage-2.8.13/sage/local/bin/bzf\
grep -> /tmp/sage-2.8.13/spkg/../local/bin/bzgrep
lrwxrwxrwx 1 zimmerma spaces 41 2007-11-22 11:03 sage-2.8.13/sage/local/bin/bzl\
ess -> /tmp/sage-2.8.13/spkg/../local/bin/bzmore
lrwxrwxrwx 1 zimmerma spaces 41 2007-11-22 11:03 sage-2.8.13/sage/local/bin/bze\
grep -> /tmp/sage-2.8.13/spkg/../local/bin/bzgrep

I will take care of those issues.

This problem seems fixed in sage-2.9:

bash-3.2$ pwd
/usr/local/sage-2.9/sage/local/bin
bash-3.2$ ls -l bz*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 zimmerma spaces 131001 2007-12-17 11:25 bzcat
