The handling of links is rather complicated ;-)
Among other things, the src needs to be treated as for a Read and the
target as for Write 

Note that .MAKE.META.IGNORE_PATHS is only applied to absolute paths
.MAKE.META.IGNORE_PATTERNS and .MAKE.META.IGNORE_FILTER can be used to
apply more generally.
