I think we are talking about different symlinks.  The symlinks I'm
thinking of removing is:

/opt/csw/lib/mysql --> /opt/csw/mysql5/lib/mysql

I can hardly see any use for it.  It's not a symlink for binaries,
only libraries.

The symlinks to binaries, such as /opt/csw/bin/mysql -->
/opt/csw/mysql5/bin/mysql, don't exist in the current package. I'm
planning on including them in the new version of the package.
