rat on, rat on

1) We wanted to build some stuff on a straight SysVr2 system. It doesn't
   know "ln -s" from JES JCL.

2) We now have R2 and R3 on the same system. They don't overlap so good.
   And we will have R4 on before we can quit supporting R2 products and
   clean them out. Symbolic links out the wazoo (a ways south of the
   duodenum). So which one is the "real" X, and goes in the "real" path?
