Please scratch my previous comment.  I thought you were adding an
entry to .gitignore or something.

I'd rather not to see such a symbolic link that points at a build
product in the source tree.  Making a symlink from the toplevel
Makefile _after_ we built it in contrib/svn-fe/ (and removing it
upon "make clean") is OK, though.
