Symlinks are fine; you can create them like this:

	ln -s /usr/bin/realfile ${D}/path/to/symlink

Or, if you prefer:

	dosym /usr/bin/realfile /path/to/symlink

They should be created in src_install().

OK; thanks for your good work.  Try to catch me on irc when you have 
some time and I'll set up a developer account for you.
