Summary: test options don't work on FreeBSD
Initial Comment:
test -L is used during make install - I'm guessing it
is supposed to test for a softlink. Sadly, this is -h
under FreeBSD, so the install fails.

What version of FreeBSD? I'm on 4.7 (SF compile farm), and
the man page says:
-h file True if file exists and is a symbolic
link. This operator
is retained for compatibility with
previous versions of
this program. Do not rely on its
existence; use -L
instead.
I tested -h on Linux, HPUX11, and Solaris 8. -h and -L both
work fine.
Assigning to Jack, since he checked in this code. I wonder
if there's any issue on the Mac?
