This seems at typical talk at cross-purposes ;-)

I don't bother with the links.  What disturbs me is that the links are present 
in the download package kbs.tgz and for the most part, that these links are 
not valid because they are absolute links into your home directory.

If these links are automatically generated at runtime, the don't have to be in 
the kbs.tgz that can be downloaded.  Since the msys tar produces a warning 
for every link that points to a non existant file (and returns with an error 
code) this looks like a bad thing when unpacking the package on windows.
