Hello, Automake gurus.

Another simple patch from my side: when '--copy' given to 
'--add-missing', copy the standard files even if symlinks already exist.

Basically, the patch adds "if --copy given and a link exists, do NOT 
exit" (+ a double-check of the object type if that would be needed on 
some systems).

This may simplify the things for some users, although you may as well 
update the documentation to say that giving "--force-missing" would 
produce the same result.

Regards,
Bogdan Drozdowski

I ran 'automake --add-missing' to copy mdate-sh to my project. This,
of course, creates a symbolic link to the automake install tree.
Remembering this, I then ran 'automake --add-missing -c' to copy the
script instead. Since mdate-sh was already present in my tree,
automake did nothing. When passing -c, I think automake should replace
the symbolic link (if and only if it is a symbolic link).
