The scripts are invoked now as you wish. For the installation, you'll still
need to do that. I can't find out about script extension support in
autotools; you might want to ask bug-automake at gnu.org, as this is a pretty
general problem.

I think "make install" copes with systems that don't have symlinks.

This should all be fine, with the proviso, as I said in a previous email,
that until gnulib/autotools support for all the features needed on Windows
is complete, it will still need patching there.
