The only reason is that I want to share the .in and .make files using 
subversion, by checking out a common rules-folder as external into the 
project. Changes to this external are visible to all colleagues 
immediately, the external can be sticked to a version, switched to 
trunk, tag, branch or whatever one need.

My solution is to check out the common_rules beside the projects 
rules-folder and copy the common_rules content, using lndir, into the 
rules-folder. That meets all requirements, I only have to update the 
symbolic links after an update from subversion.

Thanks and Regards,
Gavin
