The actual value is assured to be +# either LN_S (if the filesystem supports symbolic links) or CP (if the +# filesystem does not know about symbolic links and you need a copy of +# original file to have the same text in both places). In a gnu +# environment it will simply set CP_S="cp -s" since the gnu "cp"-command +# has the "-s" flag. You shall not try to use this command on directories +# since it would require a "-r" in the case of a copy that is not +# supported explicitly here. (I'm not sure if some "cp"-commands out there +# would barf at usage of "-r" on a normal file). +# +# Use CP_S to create a copy of read-only data - if your filesystem +# supports it then a symbolic link is created - a process that is quicker +# and space-saving. However, if the target fs does not support symbolic +# links, just copy the data. Unlike ac_prog_ln_s this macro will never +# fail to set the CP_S ac_subst to something that works. +# +# LICENSE +# +# Copyright (c) 2008 Guido U.
