Yes, so that the help patches work with [apple/iodisplay] format when working on them.
hmm, since the help-patches depend on so many external libraries, why don't you just add ".." (or, if you prefer, the full path to .../trunk/externals) to your search path?
or, if this is no option, just make the link on your local machine.
the reason why i bring this up is, that i tried to zip the entire repository (on linux), and couldn't unzip it (on windows), obviously because of the over-long path. one could argue that this is just a problem of my usage of zip.
but then, the reason why i had to do it via zip is, that there is this bad file in the gridflow part of the repository (inv*-icon.png); one could argue as well, that i just shouldn't use NTFS (or w32, that is)
i believe that there shouldn't be any filenames unable to be restored on today's widely used filesystems. and i thinkthat recursion should be avoided on a filesystem level (esp. if there are alternatives)
just my 2¢ (i stop ranting now)
