 """Make a symlink and optionally touch a file (to handle dependencies).
 
 Usage:
   symlink.py [options] sources... target
 
 A sym link to source is created at target. If multiple sources are specfied,
 then target is assumed to be a directory, and will contain all the links to
 the sources (basenames identical to their source).
