Can anyone tell me what the purpose of the coreutils `link' program is?  
It seems to just be a less functional version of `ln', so I don't know 
why anyone would bother including it.  It definately breaks my builds by 
supplanting MSVC's `link' program in my path.  I'd like to just remove 
it from my system, but know it will get installed again with the next 
upgrade.

Thanks,
IF
