	Ah, right.  I keep forgetting.

	If the file is *in* the garchive, it will symlink.  If it is
not, then you get a download.  Files get copied instead of symlinked
into the garchive so that they can survive a "make clean" in the
package.  Note that the garchive does a cp -L to make sure it actually
gets a real file in there.
