[Quilt-dev] [PATCH] configure: add compat symlinks for cp and md5sum

[Kent R. Spillner]

Allow distributors to provide compat symlinks for cp and md5sum on
non-GNU systems.  md5sum is used by quilt/scripts/inspect and is
provided by GNU coreutils, but may be installed as gmd5sum on some
systems (e.g. OpenBSD).  quilt/scripts/backup-files invokes cp
with some non-portable GNU-specific command line arguments
(e.g. --parents --remove-destination --target-directory).

Original diff from Jérémie Courrèges-Anglas <address@hidden> on
OpenBSD ports mailing list.
