I guess this is jsut the same for people which do not take arguments that 
are contrary to their own into account ;-)

Ok, so we have these two "groups":
- The developers who want to get rid of symlinks
- The users who might encounter problems with extensions

So the job description is to bring those two together.
I like Dennis' idea very much, I don't know if you read it...
Remove the symlinks and introduce a rewrite rule that fixes the paths, et 
voila...
Both requirements are met.
What do you think?
