Patch from Matthew S. Wood:
> The following patch adds support for the -S and -b flags to `ln'. These
> flags [especially -b] are used extensively in Debian pre and post
> installation scripts.
Comments from Vladimir Oleynik influenced the final patch, and I also ripped
out the in-file changelog since it belongs here. At the time, it said:
/* Apr 15, 2004 Matthew S. Wood (mwood@realmsys.com)
*
* Implement '-b' (backup) flag.
* Implement '-S' (backup suffix) flag.
*
*
* Mar 16, 2003 Manuel Novoa III (mjn3@codepoet.org)
*
* Fixed bug involving -n option. Essentially, -n was always in effect.
