Jim Blandy dba865e0ba Bug 463339: Have js/src use symlinks when installing in dist. r=bsmedberg
A directory's 'libs' target should create symlinks in the top-level
dist/bin and dist/lib directories to the libraries (and any other
generated files) in the build tree, so that when one has changed
sources in $src/js/src, simply running 'make' in $obj/js/src and then
re-running $obj/dist/bin/firefox will pick up the new libraries.

The js/src/Makefile.in 'install' target has many double-colon rules
with commands; we'd like to use these all in two circumstances:

. For 'make install' in a stand-alone js/src build.  Since we're
  following GNU behavior, this should copy the files it's installing.

. For 'make libs' in an in-tree js/src build.  To interact properly
  with the rest of the Mozilla build system, this should create
  symlinks as explained above.

To accomplish this, we use plain old $(INSTALL) in all the install
targets, have js/src/Makefile.in set NSDISTMODE to copy (to get the
GNU behavior), and then have config/js/Makefile.in override that (to
get the Mozilla in-tree behavior).
