Not necessary -- once the install script is fixed to actually follow
the symlink it works on tmpfs home too.

The sam and venti directories don't have any non-ascii utf-8.  Also,
from the host:
ls sys/doc/?½.ms
8½.ms
ls sys/doc/??½.ms
9ý.ms (The file I touched from 9vx)

So 9vx is misreading utf-8 from the host, and unsurprisingly, it tacks
extra bits on when writing.  This happens on a tmpfs home and on a
persistent ext2 home (I actually didn't test how the HOST interprets
it on ext2 because I got rid of my persistent home.)

change /usr/local/bin/Tvx:43 to
cp -LRp /usr/local/Tvx-root/* ${P9}

The 'p' flag preserves the dates, although the directories that were
separated (/sys/src and /sys/doc) were touched anyway by the
installer.

No, I want symlinks to go away from the universe.  (Bind them in a bag
and drown them in the ocean)
