System: OSF1 kangaroo.mit.edu V3.2 214 alpha
Machine: alpha
>Description:
	lib/kadm5/unit-test/Makefile.in modifies the source tree to
	create magic symlinks from capi.2 to api.2, etc.

	This is bad as developers who are using a read-only source tree
	will lose. (i.e. rel-eng)
>How-To-Repeat:
	make check in lib/kadm5
>Fix:
	I believe with a little dircetory rearrangment, symlinks in the
build tree to the source tree will work just fine. It gets a little
tricky with the config subdir... Maybe moving config to configin and
then symlink $build/config -> $src/configin will handle the case of
building in the source tree...

State-Changed-Why:

I solved this problem by ditching the sapi/capi symlinks entirely.
The unit tests now all run as --tool api, and the log files are
renamed to capi.* and sapi.* after runtest is complete.
