Description

@jonassmedegaard

When generating autotools file, they can either be copied into the project or symlinked.

Please avoid using symlinks - it causes problems when the user of your code do not have autotools installed in the exact same paths as you do, and arugably is a security vulnerability.

Debian treats all symlinks in source code with absolute path as security issues.
